May 3 Meeting: Creating Usable and Accessible Web Content: What Research
from Several Fields Tells Us

***Meeting is on the FIRST Thursday of the month. 

Web content is critical to people searching for specific, updated, and
accurate information. Find out how technical communicators and usability
specialists can have a leading role in getting the right content, in the
right amount, into the right place on Web sites.

Dr. Ginny Redish will address a joint meeting of the STC Lone Star
Community (LSC) and the DFW Usability Professionals Association on
Thursday, May 3. Drawing on research from cognitive psychology,
human-computer interaction, linguistics, reading, writing, and usability
studies, Ginny will provide specific guidelines for creating usable and
accessible Web content.

Dr. Ginny Redish is a nationally recognized usability expert and co-author
of two books on usability. She is an independent consultant focusing on

linguistics from Harvard University.

A Fellow of STC and co-founder of the STC Usability and User Experience
Community, Ginny has served on the Boards of Directors of both STC and
