The Kennedy Assassination Homepage has taken the linear format of book design principles and tweaked it in a kaleidoscopic fashion. There is the preface in which McAdams’ focus is accounted. On the same page is the index of content, not unlike a table of contents, a link to a search facility akin to a monographical index and link to recommended web resources which can be considered an annotated bibliography cum further reading companion. Upon journeying past the entry page The Kennedy Assassination Homepage overwhelms the scholarly senses as the options seem limitless or at the very least as though exhaustion will be achieved before satisfactorily engaging with the site. The notion of satisfaction versus saturation is certain prevalent. One almost becomes grateful when reaching the end of a series of spidery advances, a blessed txt file indicating no more hypertext. This salvation is brief as the explorations begin to resemble a mutated “choose your own adventure” book that does not have the conformability of a “closed” text.

McAdams offers an encyclopaedic encasement of resources pertaining to JFK’s assassination. Resources are organised categorically and have been mentioned in type of site.

McAdams site is not organised metaphorically as an interactive space though interaction can take place at alt.assassination.jfk.
