Here is the postcard I mentioned in the previous post advertising our search strategy tutorial. We’re going to print them on cardstock and have a stack ready as students prep for finals.
The wayfinding study is underway and we had our first two interviews today. These have been fun to do, and students seem to find it somewhat entertaining. Already we have gotten some good usability feedback.
Speaking of usability, I am also going to work on the LibGuide landing page to make it more appealing and easier to drill down to the subject/topic guide you are looking for. It’s been really interesting to look at other LibGuide examples and see how they are presenting their content. Most use the format we have in place, but I have found some interesting variations that I think will help make LibGuides more accessible to students looking for information. This week and next I will be creating wireframes that we hope to use in an informal UX study.
