It's a good book. i highly recommend it. I've got a copy from 1997. It's my understanding that an updated version has come out recently. The UIE design newsletter "Eye for design" that is published every other month is also very helpful. Several suggestions that they make for good usability are also things that increase accessibility (particularly with navigation, and links). In some ancient version of the WCAG, we referenced their work. We'll work some of their results back into the Techniques document and reference them. It boosts our arguments well. --w At 03:53 PM 4/26/99 , Charles McCathieNevile wrote: >There is a book by UIE on usability - have a look at http://www.uie.com > >I haven't read it, but I did looka t the chapter they put online and it >looked pretty good. > >Cheers > >Charles McCathieNevile > >On Wed, 14 Apr 1999, H.Petrie wrote: > > Does anyone know of books devoted to designing web sites for either > accessibility or usability?
