In Brief: hcibib storms on


Source: UN, 21 September 2006
Submitted by Ann Light

The transfer of the hcibib resources to a new server has acted as a prompt to me to remind you of the excellent bibliography service that it is. It warns that some queries won't function, but it is now fully up and running and still to be found at the usual address: www.hcibib.org (linked below).

Awesomely, it boasts thousands of freely available papers and many more requiring subscriptions. And there are intriguing features such as the most prolific author (Ben Shneiderman) in the collection and the top book publisher (John Wiley & Sons).

Since its launch in 1998, it has seen nearly 1.5M visitors.
