HCI Public Policy Issues in U.S. Libraries

摘要

Technologists often discuss the intricacies of implementing a technology within a certain technological context-the existing operating systems, protocols, languages, and operating systems in an environment. When discussing public policies related to interaction design, it is important to understand the context of the application area and the various balances and trade-offs. For example, in the area of electronic medical records, there must be a balance between protecting the confidentiality of patient medical records and sharing records among staff for better understanding of a patient's medical condition. In electronic voting, there is a need for balance between the security of the voting process and the usability of the voting process, and ensuring that votes were cast as intended.
