Abstract

Examines the Internet metaphors contained in the titles of 100 articles published in 1995 and found in 3 indexing services: Information Science Abstracts, Computer Database, and Maganzine Index. Examines various criteria for assessing the usefulness of metaphors to determine from among those retrieved the more appropriate metaphors that might successfully convey to the novice user the purposes and activities possible with the hyperlinked elements and functions of the Internet or WWW
