Website Usability (2015) UX Study - Final Report

Abstract

In March and April 2015 the Library's UX Team conducted usability testing on the Library’s newly redesigned website with 11 students. Based on our findings we made recommendations on a variety of web elements including: (1) allowing users to limit search results to the library website; (2) identifying the most important library resources and adding those links to the homepage; (3) adding Web of Science (and various other databases) to Primo search results; (4) adding an Ask Us link under the Research Assistance sub-menu item; and (5) improving the visibility of Library Guides.
