Suggested Readings: HCI

Human-Computer Interaction is a very broad field. If you’re interested in learning more, here’s a list of books to get started ¹.

ACM Journals (online)

Most HCI research is published in conference proceedings, or journal articles. ACM also publishes some magazines that are available in print or online.

Student membership, last time I checked, was about $50 per year. That gives you access to magazines and a weath of articles online. You can also search and access the ACM Digital Library while on-campus.

There are many excellent and topical books that span topics related to HCI.

I basically skimmed my bookshelf. There’s a lot more if you go searching, but this should serve as a reasonble starting point. This is not a definitive list! ↩︎
