Dashboard - a novel approach to re-find information in a website through building personalized navigational menus

Re-visitation or re-finding information in a website is a very frequent activity in web browsing. When a user re-visits a website especially after a long time, she encounters some problems among which being oblivious about the information structure of the site is very prominent. Another problem is that in a website, users have no way to organize the information space or the navigational structure of the website. In this paper, we have proposed a novel approach named Dashboard which supports building custom navigational menus system and allows each user build her own hierarchical information structure. We have also demonstrated how this new approach helps quickly re-finding information on re-visitation of a website.
