“ ... 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

McCrobie, Daniel, Robinson, Marie, O'Neill, Michael J., Boelter, Stephen C., Hedge, Alan and Rodriguez, Simonetta A. (1995): Concepts for Designing a Building. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 427-429.

“This panel was designed by Marie Robinson of Pacific Bell, the Program Chair for the Environmental Design Technical Group. Marie wanted to put together several speakers who have unique views and different backgrounds on how buildings should be designed for the user. The resulting panel should be an interesting mix of ideas, all with a focus on the user.”

Hedge, Alan, McCrobie, Daniel, Land, Bruce, Morimoto, Singe and Rodriguez, Simonetta (1995): Healthy Keyboarding: Effects of Wrist Rests, Keyboard Trays, and a Preset Tiltdown System on Wrist Posture, Seated Posture, and Musculoskeletal Discomfort. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 630-634.

“A field experiment is described in which wrist posture, seated posture measured using the RULA method, and musculoskeletal discomfort, recorded by self-report questionnaires, was assessed for 38 office workers while they typed the same text. A pretest survey was conducted to assess the effects of typing with a conventional keyboard on a desk or on an articulating keyboard tray, and with or without wrist rests. Following this, workers were randomly allocated to either a control group (n=15), for whom nothing changed, or a test group (n=23) that used their existing keyboard in a preset tiltdown (PT) system. After some 3 weeks of using the PT system a posttest survey was conducted for both groups. Results showed no significant changes in wrist posture, seated posture, or reports of musculoskeletal discomfort for the control group. Significant improvements in wrist posture, seated posture, and upper body musculoskeletal discomfort were found for workers using the PT system. Workers expressed a strong preference for using a keyboard with the PT system.”

McCrobie, Daniel, Robertson, Michelle, Dray, Susan M., Hedge, Alan, O'Neill, Michael J. and Cornell, Paul (1993): The Big Picture in Office Design. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 474-478.

“This panel was assembled to discuss some of the new problems that are faced by Ergonomists as they attempt to optimize the design of offices. The notion of what is optimum for an office is changing. No longer can we consider productivity as the main goal for ergonomic change. A multi-disciplinary approach is advocated for successful innervention. Both Environmental and Organizational issues are important in this interdisciplinary approach.”

McCrobie, Daniel (1989): Human Factors Design Considerations for Military Trains. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 536-540.

“This report describes a research project to develop and verify habitability and human factors design criteria as applied to the design of a train Verification of these design criteria was done via an iterative, usability test program with actual user personnel. The results of the first set of studies suggest that this test process improved the design of the system. The methods and results sections of this report contain specific design solutions and general comments that were developed during the test process.”
