Two new books in the area of Human-Computer Interaction and Information Design have been released by iSchool faculty recently. Randolph Bias, iSchool Associate Professor, is the co-editor with Deborah Mayhew of "Cost-justifying usability: 2nd edition - An update for the Internet age" (2005, San Francisco: Morgan Kaufmann) This new edition of highly influential book offers a framework and many real examples to help the usability professional conduct a cost-benefit analysis to cost-justify some proposed usability engineering support. In a review quoted on the back cover, Ben Shneiderman from the University of Maryland offers: "Thorough and thoughtful, practical and actionable; readers will be able to put the ideas to work immediately!"
