Testing
for Usability in the Design of a New Information Gateway
Speakers: Michelle Clairmont, Science & Engineering
Librarian, The University of Arizona Library; Ruth Dickstein,
Social Sciences Librarian, The University of Arizona Library; Vicki
Mills, Undergraduate Services Librarian, The University of Arizona
Library.
Seeking to understand user's needs, assumptions, and on-line behavior
was critical in the design of The University of Arizona's new Information
Gateway system. Focus groups helped direct the initial design and then
usability studies shaped the prototypes and the end product. We will discuss
both the methodology and the results of these studies.
