im still considering the quest for this kind of thing my highest "off time" duty and i've only begun. what i do have to offer so far though are these miscellaneous links and indented are my cursory faves from those: http://www.pantos.org/atw/testing.html http://www.pantos.org/atw/35283.html http://www.aw.com/cseng/titles/0-201-69497-2/website/webres/ch4.html http://www.stc.org/pics/usability/topics/surveys.html there's this little ditty but i'm not sure what hardcore info/benefits a membership will get ya (it has a pricetag so i haven't quite decided whether i really want it yet): http://www.upassoc.org/ that's about all i have right out of the favorites folder right now. here's a couple lists if you aren't on them already: http://www.acm.org/sigchi/web/chi-web.html http://advance.aiga.org and of course, my personal opinion/advice might be to make a point of periodically surfing for the larger companies (like ones who sponsor the UPAssoc.) press releases and things of that nature; scan the headlines of the tech mags online esp. .. keeping in mind "usability" and references to such info.. we could probably stand a "usability" section on thesite huh? :) hth~
