CS349, SE382, CS789 - Various User Interface Courses

References

Here is a list of references, intended for students who want to look deeper into some of the topics addressed in the course. These are books and articles that I have enjoyed reading and gotten something out of during my years of teaching human-computer interaction courses. Other than this - not very stringent - qualification, inclusion is no warrant of either correctness or relevance. As the list grows -- if the list grows -- I may try to sort it by topic.
