Nothing gets lost at the SAP Design Guild. Here is the archive of our newsletters from 2007.

 

SAP Design Guild Newsletter No. 50 - 12/11/2007

We would like to inform you of the following new additions to the SAP Design Guild Website:

  • The Books & People section offers a new review of the book:
    Usability Management bei SAP Projekten by P. Abele, J. Hurtienne, and J. Prümper (review by Kostanija Petrovic, SAP)
  • In Design Tidbits, we published an article about Universal Usability
  • There is a new article about the World Usability Day 2007 in the Stories section: World Usability Day 2007 - Making Life Easy
  • We added an accessibility guideline and updated an existing one: See SAP and Accessibility for details

We have two more book reviews in our pipeline for this year. Hopefully, we can manage to complete them in time. Here are already the links - please check them to see whether the reviews have been finished:

  • Access by Design, by Sarah Horton
  • Information Visualization, 2nd Ed., by Robert Spence

We would like to start a new tradition on the SAP Design Guild Website. We intend to offer articles, which have already been published on our Website and relate to a common topic, within a coherent framework similar to an edition. We hope that having the articles in one place will make it easier for our visitors to catch up on a certain topic from the UI field. We begin with a selection of articles centered around the topic "Universal Usability."

Happy Holidays and all the best in the New Year, Gerd & Christine
