Knowledge wants to be free!
We've decided to produce world-class educational materials by elite professors and elite designers. And give them to you for free.
We think you deserve free access to materials written by the world's foremost authorities - worth thousands of dollars - whether you are from New York or New Delhi. In fact, we wrote a mission statement about what we want to continue to do for you and the rest of the world.
In short, we do it as a labour of love and because we know you will help us in return!
“I highly recommend the Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction [...] the breadth and depth of the invited contributions are quite impressive [...] all with highly qualified authorities as authors
-- From Don Norman's review
