Abstract

From the Publisher:The increased usage of computers and the Internet for accessing information, the drastic growth in end users, and the creation of more and more multimedia products has put a definite spin on the evaluation of information resources. The old question used to be: "What's the name of the provider that carries so-and-so?" The new question is: "Out of all the places I can access so-and-so, which one is the easiest to use?" Knowing how to size up user-centered interface design is becoming as important for people who choose and use information resources as for those who design them. Design Wise introduces readers to the basics of interface design and explains why a design evaluation should be integrally tied to what we trade cash for, trundle back in our arms, and fire up for everyone else to use--in settings of all kinds and sizes.
