TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Here are two journal articles that might be of interest to those of you
who work on your computers all day:
Dainoff, M.J. (1982) Occupational stress factors in visual display terminal
operation:A review of empirical research. Behaviour & Information
Technology, Vol.1 (2), 141-176.
Dainoff, M.J., Happ, A., & Crane,P. (1981). Visual fatigue and
occupational stress in VDT operators. Human Factors, Vol.23, 421-437.
Marvin Dainoff is a psychology professor at Miami University (Ohio) and
an expert of occupational stress related to using computers. He continues
to do research in this area but I don't have any more recent references.
