[WEB4LIB] RE: Web Page Width - To Restrict or Not to Restrict

[Beth A Reiten]

Brandon, 

I think you're referring to the report by John Morkes and Jakob Nielsen, 
"Concise, SCANNABLE, and Objective: How to Write for the Web" 
(http://www.useit.com/papers/webwriting/writing.html).  Nielsen also has 
an Alertbox called "How Users Read on the Web" 
(http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9710a.html) based on this study.

If not, I'd love to see the study if you can find it!
