The HCI
Bibliography
Gary
Perlman's HCI Bibliography is a free-access online bibliographic
database on Human-Computer Interaction. The basic goal of the
Project is to put an electronic 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 Macintosh
and DOS floppy disks.

Human-Computer
Interaction at Stanford University
Stanford Project on People, Computers, and Design was initiated
in 1990 in conjunction with the Center for the Study of Language
and Information (CSLI). Its primary focus over the last three
years has been the development of an HCI curriculum under the
NSF CISE Educational Infrastructure grant.
Center
for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI)
CSLI is an independent laboratory at Stanford University devoted
to research in the emerging science of information, computing,
and cognition. This new science had its origins in the late 1970s
as computer scientists, linguists, logicians, philosophers, psychologists,
and artificial intelligence researchers, seeking solutions to
problems in their own disciplines, turned to one another for help.

The
Human-Computer Interaction Group - University of York
The Human-Computer Interaction Group was founded in 1984 to pursue
research into the design and evaluation of interactive systems.
The group has a unique interdisciplinary approach which integrates
rigorous formal methods from the latest software engineering research,
with theories of perception, learning and error developed within
cognitive and social psychology, sociology and linguistics.
