SIGCHI-relevant publications include the Bulletin, CHI/other
conference proceedings, interactions magazine, and the TOCHI
journal. I want to increase their AVAILABILITY and UTILITY by
moving toward simultaneous print and electronic publication.
Printing and distribution costs reduce the availability of SIGCHI
publications. The ability to search and manipulate electronic
media, and the ability to augment electronic versions of
publications (e.g., program screen dumps/code, research report
data) represent potential increases in the utility of
SIGCHI-relevant publications. I would like to see SIGCHI-related
publications available via WWW, FTP, gopher, and email. I would
ensure that the revenues needed to develop high-quality
publications are maintained by exploring options such as print,
electronic, and dual-media subscription rates, protected by
internationally available encryption (e.g., PGP).
Relevant Experience:
I have directed the creation of several high-quality electronic
artifacts freely available via WWW, FTP, and email, notably:
The HCI Bibliography (12,000+ abstracted entries on HCI
publications), and
The HCI Education Survey
(describing 181
faculty, 163 courses, 76 programs). I also supported the
development and/or online delivery of the
comp.human-factors FAQ,
SIGCHI curriculum report,
and
various standards/guidelines. My
Electronic Resources columns in ACM interactions magazine
are
available as WWW pages. Check out my WWW home page:
