“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Jarrett, Caroline, Petrie, Helen and Summers, Kathryn (2010): Design to read: designing for people who do not read easily. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2010 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2010. pp. 4481-4484.

“Many people do not read easily. They may have an impairment such as a visual problem. They may be reading in stressful conditions or poor light, or perhaps they are reading in a second language. Is it possible to provide one consistent set of guidelines or approaches that will allow designers of electronic materials to meet all the apparently diverse needs of these people? Or are there compromises to be made? If so, what are those compromises?”

Jarrett, Caroline and Gaffney, Gerry (2009): Forms that work: Designing web forms for usability. Boston, Morgan Kaufmann

“"The humble form: it may seem boring, but most of your website's value passes through forms. Follow Jarrett&Gaffney's guidelines, and you'll probably double your online profits." - Jakob Nielsen, Principal, Nielsen Norman Group”

Jarrett, Caroline, Grant, Katie, Wong, William, Kodagoda, Neesha and Summers, Kathryn (2008): Designing for People who do not Read Easily. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 201-202.

“Many people do not read easily for all sorts of reasons: social and cultural, because of impairments, or because of their context. Even in the area of impairments, design for people with learning disabilities might be very different from design for people with visual impairments. But many sets of guidelines, such as WCAG 2.0, are promulgated that attempt to provide one unified approach to design. This workshop will attempt to explore issues in design for people who do not read easily: what do we know, what commonalities can we exploit, and what we need to find out.”

Jarrett, Caroline (2008): Label Placement in Forms -- What's Best?. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 229-230.

“The details of forms design often absorb unreasonable amounts of designers' time. For example, where should labels be placed? The recent fashion has been to right-justify the labels and place them to the left of the fields -- is that really always the right answer? This talk draws on the author's 15 years' experience of forms design and on recent eye-tracking data.”

Jarrett, Caroline (2007): Problems and Joys of Reading Research Papers for Practitioner Purposes. In Journal of Usability Studies, 3 (1) pp. 1-6.

“In her editorial, Jarrett discusses reasons that practitioners read research papers and the obstacles that they face when reading research papers. Jarrett provides several examples and suggestions for improving the accessibility of research papers for practitioners. Her suggestions include writing clear titles, ensuring that the abstract states the study population and limitations of the study, and ensuring that the conclusions are written clearly. She also discusses her criteria for determining whether or not a research paper is relevant to her work.”

Jarrett, Caroline (2005): Proposal outline for a case study session at OZCHI 2005. In: Proceedings of OZCHI05, the CHISIG Annual Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2005. pp. 1-2.

“What do you do if you're forced to give quick feedback on a product? You know that the best answer would be to run a usability test -- but time or other constraints make it impossible. This session will give you ideas about what to do if you have thirty minutes, and what else to do if you have two days. It is based on actual reviews conducted by the presenter and will be illustrated with 'war stories' about what went right -- and the risks you might run by giving quick feedback.”

Moyes, Jackie, Buur, Jacob, Jarrett, Caroline, Ehn, Pelle, Howard, Steve and Brereton, Margot (2005): Book smarts meet street smarts: the best of both worlds. In: Proceedings of OZCHI05, the CHISIG Annual Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2005. p. 1.

“This panel will discuss how academia can contribute to industry practice and how industry practitioners can contribute to academia. We will focus in particular on how theories and practices are formed and shaped in different settings. We will discuss when academic theories and practices help industry, when and why they are discarded, and how they are transformed in industry settings.”
