"Forms that Work: Designing Web Forms for Usability (Interactive Technologies)" by Caroline Jarrett, Gerry Gaffney, and Steve Krug is one of the newest books for the forms professional’s library. Caroline Jarrett is a BFMA member and a frequent poster to FormSpace and speaker at Symposium. With her colleagues, she has recently published the new standard reference for forms design on the web.

The authors follow their own advice to demolish the walls of words. Don’t let the simplicity of the format delude you into thinking there isn’t any content. It is packed with great illustrations to explain point by point yet it isn't overly burdened with heavy text. The book goes step by step on how to define requirements, write questions and instructions, select the proper web tools and test.

Caroline has secured a discount for BFMA through the publisher. Elsevier has thousands of titles to select from, including many others that would be useful to the forms professional. You can go to the Elsevier site to place your order: Click here.
