The goal of the Project is to put an electronic bibliography for most of HCI on the screens of all researchers, developers, educators and students in the field through the World-Wide Web and anonymous ftp access.
Initially, the project was struggling to find funding and sponsors, but fortunately study-work students at Ohio State University were available to perform the task of entering the bibliographic data into the database.
While there were less funding and sponsors at the beginning of the project, publishers gave the HCI Bibliography team permission to put their materials online for free of charge.
Project support included publishers giving copyright permission and donation of publications to be entered into the HCI Bibliography database.
