From: Ernest Perez Subject: Human-Computer Interface tech reports available The following tech report list is from the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland. They have been VERY active in the areas of user-interface design, menu design, mental modelling, hypertext traversal, mouse/touchscreen/cursor manipulation, etc. This is a knockout resource on user-interface topics: I thought this would be of great interest to PACS-L subscribers; next-generation OPACS, etc. Got the list from alt.hypertext, forwarding with the permission of the author.

Pk., MD 20742 Subject: Re: refs for linear-nonlin trans? We at the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory at the University of Maryland have done many studies about hypertext authoring, transformation, and analysis. Though we've stopped most of this research a couple years ago, I'm sure our reports are still very applicable. Below is our entire list of tech reports, feel free to look it over and request the tech reports that interest you. Just searching for "hyper" may not give you all the relevant reports..... Also, please follow the contact info at the end of the list. Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory Publication List A. V.
