“ ... 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.”

Boelter, Stephen C. (1994): Sauk Prairie Memorial Hospital: POE -- Way-Finding Evaluation, Design, and Implementation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. p. 973.

“Sauk Prairie Memorial Hospital is a regional hospital serving rural communities in southwestern Wisconsin. In late spring of 1993, the hospital was completing a major addition and the administration determined the need to resolve newly discovered way-finding problems. A case study POE was utilized to systematically evaluate the facility, develop design criteria for signage and other wayfinding aids, and to facilitate implementation of the system. The project was divided into three stages: 1) a thorough facility evaluation with development of design recommendations and guidelines, 2) research sign systems which would meet the design criteria and solicit bids from local vendors, 3) implementation of the system design with the selected sign vendor. In addition to the practical evaluation objectives, the project included demonstrating how to adapt and apply current way-finding theory to design practice, educate the constituencies within the hospital about way-finding and coordinate the project. As part of the final design outcome, a custom sign system was developed for both the campus exterior and facility interior. The new system provided clear and understandable way-finding information, flexibility for physical change, expandability, a quality image and compatibility with a commercial system. Upon conclusion of the project and during the post-installation evaluation, the client acknowledged that the issue of way-finding should have be addressed as part of the planning process.”
