Hello,

I am currently working on a project in which a part of the interface will
display search results. This part of the interface will take up about 1/4+
of the screen (if that even matters).

During a group walkthrough with potential users 50% wanted to be able to
scroll through a long list of results and 50% wanted to have the results
paginated with links to the next set of results.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any research (aside from Piolat, A.
Roussey, J-Y., and Thunin, Olivier (1997)) that discusses this issue and/or
shows that one presentation may be better than another? I would also be
interested in other ways of implementing the design.

Thank you for your help,
