Dear Colleagues:

I have a project here at Georgia Tech to create a digital library of
information relevant to teaching HCI and HCC (we have a PhD program
in Human Centered Computing about ready to launch).  A prototype of
the library is on line at http://hcc.cc.gatech.edu/.

We are, by the way, converting over to DSpace from just having a
collection of files and html front end pages.  This will give keyword
search and longer-term archival security.

I am writing to ask your views about the potential usefulness of such
a digital library for you as a teacher.  You might want to take a
look at what we have at the moment before answering the questions,
but remember that what  is there now is just our initial conception -
a quick and dirty rapid prototype, if you will.

Then click on this link http://hcc.cc.gatech.edu/form.php  to a
web-based questionnaire that will take no more than 5 minutes to
complete, probably less.

As always with questionnaires, we may be asking the wrong questions,
so please feel free to comment on this in any way that seems useful
to you.

Ed Clarkson, Jason Day and Aarjav Trivedi are students working with
me here at Georgia Tech.  You may hear from one of us with some
follow-up questions.

Looking forward to your responses,

Jim Foley
