The Encyclopedia of Chicago is a great example of a digitalized work. Having walked the paths browsing it, I realized how hard it is to create those digital texts with all those hyperlinks that creates a greater thread. Navigating through out the paths are easy and makes the life of the researcher easier, yet as a person attempting a multi-linear text project tonight i really pity those guys working behind the screen creating an easily accessed and navigated platform for us.

Browsing this encyclopedia, one gets to know almost everything about Chicago; as the website provides different entries, historical sources, maps, special features as well as a user guide to leads one towards reaching his end.

The digital website is carefully crafted; as it provides its  the reader with a sight friendly navigational choices. Everything comes in order, and even if where you ended up being is not where you wanted to go, you can always go back and search again. The search bar is also another facilitative tool.

This website did not also forget or overlook graphic demonstrations. Almost in each page one is presented with one or two pictures that not only makes the page looks nicer but helps clarifying the rest reached before the searcher even starts reading.

The content might be slightly (or totally) overlooked here, but that might be due to the fact that all I’m focusing on now is the integration and creation of multi-linear texts (if that is to be regarded as an excuse).
