HCI Bibliography

My work involves website layout and design. This type of work falls under HCI, or human-computer interaction.

Today in class, a group presented on the HCI Bibliography website. This website holds abstracts of publications writen on human-computer interaction.

Wow. What’s ironic is that this website, which is one that attempts to promote better human-computer interaction, is actually one of the worst webpages I’ve used.

The search feature is horrid. Even the director of this program comments on the poor search engine. The search only searches abstracts of records. There is no way to search the site itself.

For an example of how not to design a website, check it out. However, in all fairness, they may not have the resources to improve the interface. I’ll assume they are doing the best they can with what they have.
