We, like most science journals, use ‘single-blind’ peer review: that is, the referees of a paper know who the authors are but the authors don’t know who the referees are. We are now making a change to this process and will offer ‘doubleblind’ peer review — in which referees review a paper withou...

The Development of an Educational Digital Library for Human-Centered Computing Blank for Blind Review Blank for Blind Review Blank for Blind Review Blank for Blind Review

Digital libraries have great potential to improve the educational experience. There are a wide variety of such repositories, especially those that focus specifically on education. However, a survey of existing work shows relatively few that have both a narrow subject focus and ample affordances for content browsing. We present our prototype design and implementation for the HumanCentered Comput...

However, touch screens are still largely inaccessible to blind people because they require the user to visually locate objects on the screen. To address this problem, we developed an application called Slide Rule that uses audio output...
