Title: The Development of an Educational Digital Library for Human-Centered Computing

Authors: Edward Clarkson, Jason Day, Jim Foley

Abstract:
Digital libraries have great potential to improve the educational experience. There are a wide variety of such repositories, especially those that focus on specifically on education. However, a survey of existing work shows that that there are relatively few which have both a narrow subject focus and ample affordances for content browsing. We present our prototype design and implementation for the HCC Education Digital Library (HCC EDL), which addresses this relatively sparse portion of the digital library design space. We also discuss our process for requirements gathering and its results, including the development of an HCI topic taxonomy.
