board of directors and chapter presidents InformeDesign by Caren S. Martin, Ph.D., CID Director InformeDesign® is the first searchable database of design and human behavior research on the Web. It was created at the University of Minnesota by Drs. Denise Guerin and Caren Martin and is sponsored by a $1.18 million grant from the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). The site currently contains more than 1000 “practitioner-friendly” Research Summaries of findings from research literature transformed from more than 120 scholarly journals related to design and human behavior. InformeDesign is a FREE resource. In addition to the searchable database of Research Summaries, the site features a calendar of research-related events, and a glossary of terms. The Web site is interactive, allowing visitors to provide comments about specific Research Summaries or other site issues. Visitors may register with InformeDesign and receive automated e-mail notifications about Research Summaries pertaining to their areas of interest or practice. Once registered, users have access to MyInformeDesign, a tool to catalogue and store Research Summaries of interest in a personal cache, available anywhere there is access to the Internet. Registered users also will be notified by e-mail when a new issue of Implications is published. InformeDesign has many Research Summaries on the site regarding hospitality spaces as well as environmental issues pertaining to sustainability, conservation, green design, and energy conservation.
