IxD Bibliography - Help!

Eusebio -
Great suggestions!
I am a huge fan of "Observing the user experience" by Kuniavsky
I believe that you can find the entire book online - maybe in Google books or on the publisher website?
It may be the book that convinced me to go from being an unspecialized 'UX person' to a specialized User Researcher.

Tbanzato -
Good luck building your library.  If you want to email me, I would be happy to share with you some presentations I have created around User Research that have some decent reading lists in them for various topics.

Jonas Lowgren has a great annotated bibliography online at http://bit.ly/aV5vuj

A couple that I've purchased recently that I'd recommend (sorry if they're duplicates):

• Designing Web Interfaces - Patterns and Principles for Rich Interaction: http://designingwebinterfaces.com/
• Universal Principles of Design - great reference; looks like the revised edition was just released: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Principles-Design-Revised-Updated/dp/1592535879/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268325586&sr=1-1
• The Website Owner's Manual: http://boagworld.com/websiteownersmanual/ (just bought this last night, but haven't read it yet -- hoping it will help me look at Website ownership a little more through a clients' eyes...or at least help me be a better coach to my clients...)

Love Steve Krug's books, too.  And I have been meaning to get Web Form Design - have heard great things about it: http://www.lukew.com/resources/web_form_design.asp.  And just heard about Search Patterns...  I could go on and on!  So many great books out there  :-)

For pragmatic tips on ("better") web development you could also have a look at:

• Neuro Web Design. What Makes Them Click? (Susan Weinschenk, 2009)
• Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to Change What We Think and Do (B.J. Fogg, 2003)

Cheers,
Arjuna

Semantic Foundry (Will Evans aka Semantic Will) has a great listing on his site (if you haven't seen it already): http://ow.ly/1fuv1

He calls it the UX Cannon - I couldn't agree more.

Hi there,

I was wondering if you have an ultmate list or at least a couple of hints for
us to build a very decent IxD bibliography here in the company.

Anything from Books, Docs, White Papers.

Thanks

Here are some books from a 30 page bibliography that I've been keeping for awhile. If you send me your email, I'll send you the complete list.

Thanks, Chauncey Wilson chauncey.wilson@gmail.com

Albers, J. (1975). Interaction of color. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press.

Albers’ 80 page book describes an experiential way of studying how colors interact with other colors. Albers’ aim is to develop “… through experience – by trial and error – an eye for color”. The constant theme throughout the book is the relativity of color, a complex topic.
