The purpose of this study is to understand how people use their eyes while working on tasks using multiple computer screens. We want to learn how eye movements change when people do structured tasks given by the research team compared to when they do their own regular work. This information can help us improve future technology, like smart glasses, to make working with virtual screens easier and more comfortable.

The purpose of the study is to survey researchers with established interests in early modern marginalia studies about the development of a peer-to-peer research tool designed to facilitate their research. The tool will match scholars in need of photographs of unique pieces of evidence from rare books repositories with scholars able to take and deliver those photographs. The hypotheses of the study are that a) there is interest in a tool like this and b) scholars with established interests in the area can contribute meaningfully to the design of the tool. The aim of the study is to collect information through a survey about the degree to which such a tool might be used, for what reasons, and by whom, and about the features and functionalities that users would like to see in the tool.
