-
- This will be the last Library and Networking videoconference
- this
- fall.
-
- The speaker is Dr. Paul Solomon, Asst. Professor at the School
- of
- Information and Library Science, UNC-Chapel Hill.
-
- The topic for this session is an overview of human-computer
- interface
- design for online information systems. Dr. Solomon will give us
- background on the subject and some details about the work he has
- done.
-
- The importance of human-computer interface design increases as
- the
- number and diversity of new users of online information systems
- and
- sources grows daily. These users require software tools that
- will
- help, not hinder, their necessary work.
-
- Networked information discovery and retrieval (NIDR)
- applications on
- the Internet such as WAIS, the Internet Gopher, archie, and
- WorldWide
- Web have emerged to serve a user community seeking access to
- distributed, multiform infobases as well as bibliographic OPACS
- (online pubic access catalogs). Developers of these
- applications and
- succeeding generations of NIDR tools need to consider interface
- design
- as well as functionality issues in order to deliver efficacious
- products.
-
- These LIBNET videoconferences are open to anyone who wishes to
- attend.
