In October of 1997, the U.S. National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated an effort to increase the
visibility of software usability, the Industry USability Reporting (IUSR) Project.
Cooperating in the IUSR project are prominent
suppliers of software and representatives from large consumer organizations. The IUSR
project is a product of the Visualization and Usability Group, Information Access Division, of the Information Technology Laboratory.
