Hello, I am Gary Perlman and I work on making information more useful and usable by people. I work at OCLC, where I am a research scientist working on bibliographic and full-text retrieval, notably OCLC's FirstSearch service.

Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, I lived in the United States for 30 years and moved back in the summer of 2003. I am telecommuting to Ohio.

Most people will want to go to my page of resources on human-computer interaction (like the HCI Bibliography) and empirical methods (like the |STAT data analysis package). My user interface questionnaire page is also popular.
