Artifacts Developed
2001-
is an open access web interface to
the world's largest bibliographic database of library holdings.
1999-2000
is a web-based system for bibliographic and
full text retrieval for many levels of users,
in many lanaguges, available on many Web platforms.
1998
is a perl CGI script that reads questionnaires and options
from files and form data, administers a questionnaire,
and e-mails data to the administrator,
1995
is an
edited collection of the best HCI papers from the
HFES annual meeting proceedings of 1983-1994
(co-edited with Georgia Green and Mike Wogalter).
1993-
is an online
database describing 77 graduate
education programs, 193 faculty, and 174
courses on human-computer interaction.
The survey was designed and conducted
entirely via electronic mail on the Internet
(with Jean Gasen).
1990-
is a C
function library that represents semi-structured
information (e.g., mail, news,
bibliographic / biographical information,
calendars, etc.) as frame-like structures, and
provides a comprehensive set of functions
(e.g., search, sort, format) without imposing
changes to proprietary file formats.
1989-
is a free access
online bibliography on human-computer
interaction. The database contains over
60,000 entries compiled over the Internet
with the help of over 100 volunteers.
1987 NaviText SAM is a PC-based hypertext
interface to MITRE's 944 guidelines on user
interface development. The system, written
in C, was made into a commercial product.
1980- STAT
is a data manipulation and analysis
package of over 25 programs running on
UNIX and DOS. Written in highly portable
C in the early 1980s, it has been in use on dozens of platforms
on thousands of machines around the world.
