The HCI Bibliography is maintained by Gary Perlman (perlman@cis.ohio-state.edu) from the Department of Computer and Information Science of the Ohio State University. It is a free-access online extended bibliography on Human-Computer Interaction. The basic goal of the project is to put an online bibliography for most of HCI on the screens of all researchers, developers, educators and students in the field through anonymous ftp access, mail servers, and Mac and DOS floppy disks. Through the efforts of volunteers, the bibliography has reached 10,600 entries, consuming over 10.1 megabytes, with abstracts and/or tables of contents.

A Virtual Summer School is being run this month by The Human Cognition Research Laboratory at the UK's Open University. The summer school enables students of Cognitive Pscyhology to participate in group discussions and tutorials via Internet Videoconferencing, and to run experiments, conduct literature searches, undertake statistical analyses, and of course socialize and chit-chat, all without leaving their homes. The Human Cognition Research Laboratory undertakes a combination of basic and applied research in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Knowedge Engineering, Cognitive Science, and Human Computer Interaction (particularly program visualization). The long-term goal of this research is to understand the fundamental processes of cognition, and to exploit this understanding where appropriate in the design of complex software systems. The Open University, now in its 25th year, is arguably the grand-daddy of all distance teaching educational establishments... have a look at the experimental Open University Home Page.
