Dear E-Journal Colleague,
I'm copying this to you since you may be interested to see how we've
designed this experimental special journal issue to increase the
interactivity (i) of articles, with demonstrations of systems embedded in
some of them, and (ii) between authors and readers, through an integrated
reading and commenting environment.
Regards,
Simon Buckingham Shum

Special Issue on World Wide Web Usability
http://www.hbuk.co.uk/ap/ijhcs/webusability
The July issue of IJHCS brings together seven articles providing detailed
treatment of Web-based interaction from the user's perspective, with
particular emphasis on learning from over a decade's hypermedia research
before the Web, and on adapting current user-centred design methods and
tools to the Web.
This special issue provides readers with the articles in HTML and Adobe
Acrobat format, interactive demonstrations of systems described in the
articles, and commentary/discussion facilities tightly integrated with the
articles.
We invite the Web community to read, try demonstrations, comment and debate
with the authors and other readers, add new links, and feed back to the
journal on this experiment in e-journal publishing.
