Subject:QUESTION: Usability Groups From:Sarah Gunn <gunn -at- NICMAD -dot- NICOLET -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 24 Oct 1997 13:51:00 -0600
I have recently been assigned to a usability group to design user
interfaces for our company products (mostly medical software). I am excited
about this opportunity, but unfortunately I have not had too much exposure
in working with usability design and testing. I was hoping that those of
you who are experienced in this area can point me in the right direction.
Can you recommend:
* workshops that you found helpful
* Internet resources that I can check out
* I know there are several usability mailing lists out there, can you
recommend one or two that are the most informative
* Books that you have read
Your answers are most appreciated.
Please post to me privately.
TIA
