Surfer/visitor behaviour

Anyone know of more resources?

[webjourneyman]

I´ve been reading about studies on surfer/visitor behaviour. The human side of webpage desing. The two best sources I´ve found are:
[useit.com...] on how people read on the web and
[poynterextra.org...]
on tracking eye movement of users when viewing a site, what part of page they look at first, what parts they look at longest etc. I think info of this type could be implemented to increase stickingess of websites many fold. Can anyone point me to more resources of this type?

They've been doing some excellent web usability studies.

tedster beat me to it. :-)

I work in a university medical research department, and my boss's level of computer literacy is clicking the mouse button to go from one slide to the next in a PowerPoint presentation. Trying to convince him that there's a better way to do something on our website is an uphill battle. But, hey, if I can show him research from a university, that's different. Great site, although I wish they'd add to it more often.

Another useful resource from the US government, no less: [usability.gov...]

It's got a good links page for even more study.

Thanks for the usability.gov link tedster, it looks like they have a lot of valuable information. Ironically, however, I don't consider their homepage very "usable." Shouldn't the list items under the graphical headings be links to "drill down" to more specific locations of the site? ;)

Notwithstanding, there's still a lot of good stuff there.
