- ABSTRACT
-
- The HCI Bibliography is a free-access online
- extended bibliography on Human-Computer Interaction. The
- basic goal of the project is to put an online bibliogra-
- phy 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 passed 3300 entries, with abstracts
- and/or tables of contents; eventually, citation informa-
- tion and hypertext access will be added. [The files are
- in REFER format. DFM]
-
- Procedures for Accessing the HCI Bibliography
-
- Registration:
-
- To allow us to inform users of additions and corrections, and
- to keep track of who uses the HCI Bibliography, we request that
- users register with us. Send electronic mail and/or postal address
- to hcibib@cis.ohio-state.edu. The first line of the message should
- be:
-
- Register:
-
- followed by a line with electronic mail address, followed by lines
- with other identifying information (e.g., a mailing label, in
- electronic form).
-
- Internet/Anonymous FTP Access:
-
- To access files in the HCI Bibliography, internet users can
- use FTP (file-transfer-protocol) to copy files and programs to
- their machines. See the file named README for more information
- about the contents of files and for information about how to
- contact publishers of the works. To log in to the archive machine,
- use the login name: "anonymous" and provide your internet account
- name as your password. The messages provided by ftp are unbeliev-
- ably cryptic; many users can not distinguish between positive
- feedback and messages about unrecoverable errors, so ignore them
- and plod along. In the following example, where much of the output
- from ftp is left out, the following conventions are used.
-
- "$" is your system's prompt
- text after "#" is a comment
- you type in text after the ":" and the ">"
- "ftp>" is the prompt from the file transfer program
-
- File transfer rates will vary, so try something small first. The
- README and Index files are suggested for basic information.
-
- $ mkdir mybib # make a directory where you will keep your
- copy
- $ cd mybib # set transfer directory before ftp
- $ ftp ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu # to reach our archive; obscure text
- will follow
- Name (...): anonymous # user logs in with standard anon ftp
- name
- Password: yourname@yoursite # use your name and your site for
- identification
- ftp> cd pub/hcibib # go to HCI Bibliography directory
- ftp> dir # to get a listing of what's there
- ftp> get README # to retrieve a file
- ftp> prompt # to toggle (turn off) interactive prompting
- ftp> mget * # interactively retrieve all files
- ftp> quit # to leave ftp when done
