Berkshire Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction Now Available Online
from Xrefer

Xrefer and Berkshire Publishing Group team up to bring HCI to e-libraries

April 27, 2005, Boston and London - Xrefer and Berkshire Publishing Group
are delighted to announce that the highly acclaimed Berkshire Encyclopedia
of Human-Computer Interaction is now available online from Xrefer as an
Xreferplus Specialist Reference title.

Human-Computer Interaction - known as HCI - is a fast-growing field
drawing on several branches of social, behavioral and information science,
exploring how we communicate with - and through - computers, robots,
information systems and the Internet.

Libraries can now purchase unlimited user access to the Berkshire
Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction for their patrons from Xrefer,
either in addition to their Xreferplus Ready-Reference collection or as an
individual, standalone title. For more information, see
http://www.xrefer.com/vol/333.

Published in print form by the Berkshire Publishing Group in 2004, the
two-volume Berkshire Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction is
designed to be the first reference resource to meet the needs of
researchers and scientists as well as students, business and marketing
professionals, and other interested readers. It includes hundreds of
illustrations, tables and photos, as well as 190 articles written by 175
expert contributors, all eminent figures in the field of HCI.

"From collaboration editors to cyborgs, I never knew there was so much to
know about human-computer interfaces... The accessible layout should also
make it easy to interface with this breadth of information."
 Mark Fischetti, contributing editor, Scientific American
