From: Duane F Marble Subject: PUBS: Electronic Human Computer Interaction Bibliography Date: Sat, 22 Aug 1992 14:26:51 EDT Message-ID: <9208221826.AA16655@bottom.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> The following material is extracted from a longer document describing the Human Computer Interaction Bibliography Project run by my colleague Gary Perlman in our CIS department. Copies of the complete document are available via FTP as noted below. *********************************************************************** The HCI Bibliography Project (document date: 6/1/92) Gary Perlman Department of Computer and Information Science The Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 43210 USA 614-292-2566 Office, 614-292-9021 Fax perlman@cis.ohio-state.edu 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 ********************************************************************* -- Duane F.
