[Cms-moe-list] Fwd: National News relevant to MO

[Bob STEELE(CMS)]

Hi All

A useful news link from Chris Roast.

Sophie, Tracy  - should be good for the news items.

Extracts will be useful, but we could also make a link to the service if you
think it is useful.

Chris and I have the contacts to help organise this if required.

Bob

Bob et al,

Below is the formal announcement of the Usability News website (run by
the British HCI Group). I think it should be hihgly relevna to MO'ers.

	Chris

>> We'd like to announce the arrival of a news service for usability
>> specialists.
>> 
>> Usability News (http://www.usabilitynews.com) has been launched by the
>> British HCI Group of the British Computer Society to bring you the latest
>> news, events and jobs in usability.
>> 
>> You'll find something there for all researchers and practitioners interested
>> in good product design, and a chance to share points of view. As a
>> regularly updated, dynamic service that everyone can contribute to, UN will
>> provide coverage of what's happening now in the industry in Britain and the
>> world. It will complement existing HCI resources by focusing on the hot
>> topics of debate and representing all views.
>> 
>> But its most exciting feature is that it will belong to the industry
>> itself. To be really effective, the site must act as an exchange - good
>> practice, requests, ideas, discoveries, business partners - you name it.
>> That depends on your participation. So let us invite you to take a look at
>> what's on offer.
>> 
>> .. and to share your views: you can use the 'Contribute' button to send in
>> opinions, articles for publication or ideas; or you can mail us at
>> editor@usabilitynews.com.
>> 
>> Then, subscribe to the news service at:
>> http://www.usabilitynews.com/subscribe/

>> Please, make the most of this resource..
