加州理工学院领跑美国高校

                                            

本报讯 据Quartz网站日前报道，在一种新型的大学排行中，两位科学家发现，依据科学中最伟大的进步进行排名，加州理工学院（Caltech）跻身美国高校之首。在一项分析中，研究人员调查了诺贝尔奖（物理学、化学、医学、经济学、文学与和平奖）、菲尔茨奖（数学领域）和图灵奖（计算机科学）的所有获得者，并且确认了每位获奖者的本科学校。
在另一项独立的分析中，他们调查了进入美国国家科学院、国家工程院或医学研究所的个人及其本科院校。在修正了学校规模上的差异外，两项分析均表明，Caltech是领跑者。研究人员表示，尽管他们的排名无法捕获个人影响世界的所有方法，但这些奖项和学术机构的确代表着帮助塑造了现代社会的成就。（徐徐）

                Visitors to the Harvard Library User Research Center open house on August 27 had the opportunity to try out new tools that provide insight into how users interact with online interfaces, physical spaces, and public services. The User Research Center, located in Lamont Library and available for use by all library staff, provides a space for usability testing, interviews, space assessments, and more. The center’s participant room is equipped with software capable of tracking a user’s eye movements as she scans a monitor, assistive technology (a large-type, high-contrast keyboard, for example), and a dedicated station for mobile device testing.
Staff interested in user experience design and usability testing will find a curated collection of books, from general guides like Steve Krug’s classic Don’t Make Me Think to more library-centric resources such as User Experience (UX) Design for Libraries. The center also offers practical training on user experience methods along with suitcases of equipment that staff can borrow for weeks at a time.
