Lots of people are picking up the HCI Bibliography files, many are registering, some are sending suggestions, but I see no new volunteers! We currently have 994 records released, 475 with abstracts, and 65 with tables of contents, and about 200 more records in the pipeline. The following is our priority list of materials to get online. We would like you to donate your time and data, if you have any. We need your donated time to check the materials that we have online, and we need your online versions of materials (most formats are ok). We would like to thank Jakob Nielsen, Bob Allen, and Karen Ward for their contributions of hundreds of entries. Short term, here is what we could use: Volunteer validators (you need the publication and 5-10 hours of effort): "CHI'82" - proceedings of the 0-eth CHI (Gaithersburg Conference) we have the abstracted bibliography ready for validation CSCW'90 - Computer-Supported Cooperative Work we have the abstracted bibliography ready for validation Hypertext'87 or Hypertext'89 we have the abstracted bibliography ready for validation Volunteer data entry (you need the publication and a chunk of time) CSCW'86 and CSCW'88 - 33 and 32 papers, respectively, we have basic info we have the basic bibliography and could use UIST conferences TOIS - ACM Transactions on Information Systems we have basic information, but need abstracts INTERACT'84 and INTERACT'87 (over 150 articles each!) we have basic information, but need abstracts For the above, if you have individual abstracts, mail them to us. Longer term, we are looking for "area editors" who will take charge of such areas as CSCW, Hypertext, Empirical studies of programming, or specific publications, such as TOIS, IJMMS, BIT, etc. We recently received permission from Ablex Publishing to provide free extended bibliographies of: International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction Cognitive Science If you have large chunks of these, or would like to provide them, get in touch with us. Finally, we would like to get hold of the proceedings for the CHI'91 conference so that we can distribute its online extended records at the conference. So far, we have not been successful at contacting the right parties (email to the Olson's do not seem to get answered). Send your mail to: hcibib@cis.ohio-state.edu. Volunteers should indicate what they are willing to work on and begin their messages with the line: Volunteer: Contributors (of records) should begin their messages with the line: Contribution: Yes, it is easier to sit back and wait for things to appear without your help, but lots of people will benefit from your efforts if you volunteer your time. It is especially appropriate for HCI groups in universities to get involved; the students associated with these should be more involved with the HCI literature! -- Name: Gary Perlman | Computer and Information Science Department Email: perlman@cis.ohio-state.edu | Ohio State University, 228 Bolz Hall Phone: 614-292-2566 | 2036 Neil Avenue Mall Fax: 614-785-9837 or 292-9021 | Columbus, OH 43210-1277 USA
