This reminds me of an ACM article I'm having the students read this week (It's something like 'Text vs Hypertext: Which is easier to use to find information' or some such thing).
It involved two groups with reference material on Sherlockiana -- one group had all the info in a Hypercard stack and the other had the same material in a book/encyclopedic reference format. The test subjects were given a list of questions and timed as they found the answers. It would be interesting to repeat it with my students -- one group using the built-in docs and the other using Dave's indexed PDF... (considering the idea... anybody got any good questions?)
