This month is the first one so we picked the topic. If you are interested in reading about navigation, or if you’ve done work in that area, please join us.
Read as many of the articles as you want to. We’ve put the ones we think are most helpful and interesting at the top, and marked the freely available ones.

Access notes: not everyone can get the paywalled articles, so we would like to discuss approaches to access at our first meeting. One is to ensure a proportion of the reading is freely available, favouring open access materials. We could take a pragmatic Wikipedia approach i.e. let those who have access to the pay-walled stuff digest it and share that thinking during the discussions. We look forward to hearing your views on this.
