Abstract
This paper suggests that the focus of user support has moved from a simple system-user interface to a need to consider a variety of potential interfaces at the work-setting. It argues that the current HCI paradigm still only addresses user support in terms of a technological interface, but that this must be extended to include a number of other alternatives.
