OBJECTIVES

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: http://www.acm.org/~perlman.
