Abstract

The development and use digital documents must address the context in which these digital documents will be used and what roles they will play at a group level, an institutional level, or an inter-organisational level. For a given task, the usefulness of a tool depends on many factors. There is clearly a need for a forum to discuss human factors and empirical studies of digital document systems.This minitrack aims to provide an inter-disciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners to communicate their work in relation to user-centred design and evaluation issues in the larger context of digital documents. The focus is on the role of human factors in information-intensive environments in which digital documents have an integral role. This minitrack has grouped articles under two broad themes: Usability and Beyond, and Design in Context.
