The Rise of the Graphical User Interface.

Edwards, Alastair D. N.

Library Hi Tech, v14 n1 p46-50 1996

Discusses the history of the graphical user interface (GUI) and the growing realization that adaptations must be made to it lest its visual nature discriminate against nonsighted or sight-impaired users. One of the most popular commercially developed adaptations is to develop sounds that signal the location of icons or menus to mouse users. Contains 14 references. (BEW)
