Not a digital library, but related: In December, I released a new search engine for the HCI Bibliography. There are more features, but they are, to be frank, strewn on the screen without much regard to anything. I'd be willing to provide some technical support in exchange for being able ot use what is produced. There is also the opportunity to stick features out in the world for real people to try. There are stats available on usage, summarized here: http://hcibib.org/analog.cgi And, you can have all the source code (~3k lines of perl), but you need about 100 meg of space for data and indexes. Another option, better for me, I bet: Work with the ACM DL: http://www.acm.org/dl/ I think it's painful the way it makes me enter my name and password for every document, but other than that, it's got a lot of nice features. No tech support, but I know that Rob Perkins (http://www.designperspectives.com) worked with acm to make improvements, and he seemed interested in getting feedback. Or just search hcibib.org for digital library usability -portal or better yet: digital librar* usability -portal Best wishes, Go Buckeyes, Gary On Thu, 4 Jan 2007, Gary Klatsky wrote: > Hi Gary > > At the last minute I am picking up the HCI design class for our program.

Here is what I would be interested in presenting. I am not sure I would have much to say. I spend an inordinate amount of time ranting about work that should have been done: translation, accessibility, usability testing, usage stats. Remarkably, with my mediocre high school French, I am the go-to guy for internationalization of user interfaces at a company doing business in 100 countries. With my aging eyes, I am the leading (and almost the only) advocate for accessibility, quick to deride small non-resizable text on pages like: http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~jer/courses/hci/ So, a lot of what I do is captured in this aging paper from 2002: http://www.acm.org/~perlman/design4change.pdf I'd be happy to talk about universal usability, particularly of FirstSearch, http://oclc.org/firstsearch/trial/fstrial.scr But most of my current work is on our free access to WorldCat: http://worldcat.org My current research focus is on measurement of access to the new search service for the HCI Bibliography http://hcibib.org http://hcibib.org/bs.cgi The old engine, which performed over two million searches over 8 or so years, was replaced by a new version, which did not provide accurate results. When I was forced to replace the old search engine, I added a lot more stats to track usage: search types, number of hits, option usage, etc. I was surprised that a few dozen webcrawling robots accounted for 90% of the searches. Clearly, "number of searches" and "percentage of searches with results" would be swayed by an extra few thousand searches. Search types help by allowing me to filter out searches from crawled web pages, but those tricky robots spoof URLs and whole forms. I wanted a measure that would not be sensitive to what one or forty robots did. I also wanted a measure that more meaningfully represented what people were actually doing with the service. I have gradually evolved to focusing on IP addresses, equating them with individual users (despite all the pitfalls). So instead of focusing on 11,671 searches on Monday of this week, that day is noteworthy because there were 150 different IP addresses, a record, and not a bad number of users, regardless of what some robot in Arizona does. And instead of looking at the number of searches, I focus on IP addresses with failed searches and successful searches. My main measure of failure is the percentage of IP addresses with a failed search during a day, but I am also looking at the distribution of (a) all failed searches, (b) some failed searches, and (c) no failed searches. As I have made changes to the search service, I have been able to track this measure (and others) here: http://hcibib.org/analog.cgi After a talk at CHI 2006, I also wanted to track Net Promoter Scores: http://hcibib.org/netpromoter.htm I thought that even if I got some bad feedback, I could blame it on covariates such as the user's language or country, or that they just had a failed search. Unfortunately, perhaps because of the way I have set up the Comments? button, I have received zero ratings. I think the main point would be that services need measures and valid measures need covariates. Or it could be that my form designs leave a lot to be desired. Looking over your class yearbooks, I was impressed by the interest in public service, and some of the your students might be interested in why and how the HCI Bibliography came to be. http://www.acm.org/perlman/hcibib10.html If this is of interest, I am flexible on dates. Or, maybe lunch sometime.

I recently stumbled across CHINZ, although I had known about OZCHI. I'll probably add them to the HCIBIB, but I've been busy replacing the old search service, which broke somehow. I added a lot of stats collection and I found out that most searches were by robots, which I always basically knew, but not that 90% of searches were robots. Maybe that's why so few people cared when I took the service down for two months. Still, about 100 real people visit each day now, with remarkably little overlap between days, and maybe 2000 people a month. There must must be overlap then, because I don't think there are more than 10,000 people in the world who are interested in the site. I stopped covering the HFES conference in 1995, and I stopped adding abstracts to HCII conferences in 1997 and to BCS-HCI conferences in 2000, without even one comment. So I probably won't add any Pacific Rim conferences unless there is some demand. Also, the ACM DL is a better place to look now. It's cold here in Montreal, but it's home. Everyone is doing well.

I agree that it's a bad security practice to have o+w files. The files are being written by CGI scripts so the "user" is "apache". There are similar log files in each of the areas where I do volunteer work: hcibib, sigchi, and buckchi. I know how to use chgrp, so if I could be added to the apache group, I could (1) change the group of the log files to apache and (2) turn off the world writable bit (o-w). Alternatively, you could add apache to these groups: hcibib sigchi buckchi perlman and then I'd just need to turn off the world-writable bit. Thanks for your help.

A few years ago, I decided to get rid of some duplicate proceedings, so I created the proceedings sharing program where people would bring their unwanted proceedings to the CHI conference and they would be picked up by the needy (e.g., students, people from countries where proceedings are scarcer). ACM heard of this and they sent close to 100 boxes of old proceedings and reports, and it was a mad givaway. My back still hurts from moving boxes. With the presence of the ACM DL, to which I subscribe for $98/year, I think your proceedings are worth, in total, about $100, minus shipping charges. You could go onto eBay. I found CHI'98 with a search for (chi conference), which is being sold for $6.09. Powell's had the same year for $7.40, but I suspect it's the same physical item. Fewer years ago, I was moving and decided to unload my HCI library. I felt comfortable doing this because (1) I almost never looked at it, and (2) all the ACM proceedings are online in the ACM DL. I had been doing some consulting for SUNY Oswego's HCI program, so I offered to send them books, proceedings, and journals at my expense. I could have taken a tax deduction, but did not, maybe because I was busy with moving and was then dealing with two country's taxes, and my US liability was zero. So, you might do better by donating the proceedings to U Dayton HF or something similar. I'll invoice you for this analysis. :-) Gary On Wed, 31 Jan 2007, Mike Nelson wrote: > Hi Gary, > > First, thanks for referring the attorney at Coollaw to me.
