A number of Universities mounted the identical set of approximately 10,000 images and accompanying text records as part of the Museum Educational Site Licensing Project. This papex examines 5 of those implementations from the standpoint of the user's interactive experience. Eight students were given access to the implementations and a preliminary summary of their comparative observations is presented here, focusing primarily on the searching process. Because the examples in this study demonstrate the different ways the same information can be presented to the user, it should prove useful to implementers planning an interactive project.
