It seeks to examine how design and content choices influence people?s behavior when interacting with complex information, and how the knowledge of situational context improves the design of complex information systems. SCCI fosters an integrated approach to the design of complex information by bringing together members from a range of research and practitioner communities.

SITUATION Working on a client intranet that over the years has grown to link to many outside sources. In a nutshell the intranet consists of content on an old CMS - which was the original intranet. But now there are additional links to Google Apps, Links to HR Apps, Federated Search, and a Helpdesk application. The chief user complaint is that they can no longer find what they are looking for. The client's initial solution has been to replace an outdated departmental navigation scheme with a home page that looks like Google, just a simple Search bar. This was shared with users and while most liked the simplicity there was a common request for some sort of navigation and a way to browse "in case I don't know what I'm looking for." While the client thinks the answer to helping users find what they are looking for is to guide them to search, the research seems to be indicating there is a need for a consistent header or global navigation across this fragmented experience of different sources. Is there an elegant way to create a consistent experience such as a global header nav and search bar that can show on any browser-rendered page regardless of the source e.g. Google Sites, Google Apps, Outside applications, legacy CMS? Any other thoughts/suggestions welcom. Thanks for sharing. -Tom From dan at swift-staffing.com Mon Aug 18 16:44:41 2014 From: dan at swift-staffing.com (Daniel Swift) Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:44:41 -0400 Subject: [Sigia-l] [JOB] User Researcher to 80/hour for 1-year - Newark, NJ Message-ID: <00de01cfbb25$3ed452c0$bc7cf840$@com> - This is a full time hourly paid role - Rate: $60 to $80 per hour - Duration: 1 year with poss. of extension - The hired researcher will work on-site in Newark, NJ (5-minute walk to PATH train) - Citizenship: Required.
