Materials are added to the database based on broad relevance to HCI,
availability of metadata, copyright permissions, and availability of resources
to incorporate the materials.
Generally, larger units of materials (e.g., journal volumes, conference proceedings)
are included in their entirety, as well as individual books.
Individual Articles
The HCI Bibliography can
include individual articles or book chapters by adding them
to an annual file (e.g., 1999, 2003).
Adding a new area of coverage requires some general information
about the conference (organization web site, first year, etc)
or journal (publisher/journal web site, first year, editors, issn).
In many cases, the web sites will have links to archives,
and those can be processed to gather data.
Here are the fields we try to fill.
If you want to supply some records, see the
raw format option in search results for similar files,
and get some feedback before putting in a lot of work.

No, but if you have a web site that is relevant,
you can suggest it with a Suggest-a-Link form.
Job Boards
Many organizations have job boards where employers can post (sometimes for a fee).
ACM SIGCHI has one called
CHI-JOBS,
which is free and has over 2000 subscribers.
Check the CHI-JOBS archives for formats.
Other organizations can be found on the
HCI Webliography Organizations page,
but some to check out include:
Conferences
A lot of hiring is done at conferences, so employers can attend conferences in
their area of interest and use the job board, host an event, etc.
To find conferences of interest:
- Search the HCI Bibliography for some terms of interest
(e.g., ubiquitous computing)
- Note the Sources (e.g., CHI, IUI, HCII, UIST conferences)
- Limit to individual conferences to see what papers were presented and which are most interesting
(e.g., IUI conference papers)
- Look into attending the conference - the last record for a conference usually has links to the conference
home page, usually with links to all conferences
Some upcoming conferences are listed on the
HCI Bibliography Events Calendar
