  4. What is a Persona? “A persona is a user archetype you can use to help guide decisions about product features, navigation, interactions, and even visual design. By designing for the archetype – whose goals and behaviour patterns are well understood – you can satisfy the broader group of people represented by that archetype.” -- Kim Goodwin, Cooper (a design firm)

  5. Why use personas for Clicklaw? • Clicklaw is an entry point for all British Columbians to PLEI resources and legal services • There are over 4 million people in British Columbia • The challenge: how to design Clicklaw to support such a diverse user base in finding what they’re looking for • Our approached: research the needs and characteristics of our potential users, and develop a set of Clicklaw personas to capture some key themes

  6. We’ve created six Clicklaw personas: • the help seeker: Chelsea Campbell • the independent problem solver:Rani Singh • the info seeker:Timothy Lee • the helper: Sarah Duncan • the educator: Jorge Lamas • the learner: Matthew Gilmore

  7. Who we’ve talked to (so far!) • Public librarians • College and university librarians • Library students and high school students • Legal advocates • Community and settlement workers • Lawyer Referral staff and Pro Bono Lawyers • Legal aid staff

  8. Where we connect with people • Community events • Conferences and workshops • Hands-on training sessions • Webinar training sessions • Online training courses
