  1. Project 2: Generating User-Tailored Floor Maps Presented by:Jarrett Baugh, Melody Budiono, GeorgioMoussan, and Steven Nguyen

  2. Review • The Problem • It is not easy to find a library book • Our Solution • Graphics-oriented directions • Methods • Field studies • PHP

  3. Field study – Results • Study of current system – completed • Asked user to find “Face Painting in Chinese Opera” • Started on main lobby of second floor • The book code was GT 1747 L8 • Fourth Floor • Located on GT575 – GV174

  4. Field study – Statistics • Five (5) participants • Three (3) Undergrads • One (1) Grad • One (1) Extension Student • Gender • Three (3) Females • Two (2) Males • 3/5 of the users never look for books in the library • The other two – at least once a quarter.

  5. Field study – Findings • Pilot Testing • Think out loud directions were not clear. • Survey question was not useful. • Book codes are confusing • 4/5 users asked librarian for directions on how to find the book. • Average time to find book = 4.4 minutes

  6. Field study – Findings • Users clicked on the book code expecting directions • “How would you rate the current method of finding books on a scale of 1 to 10? (with 1 being very unsatisfactory, and 10 being very satisfactory).” • Average rating = 7.4

  7. Field study – User quotes • “Possibly someone on each floor to help? Or just bigger numbers shown on each shelf.” – U03 • “The letter organization in the library is kind of confusing / hard to find. “ – U03 • “No explanation of the book number.” – U05 • “When searching through Ant Pac, can add a description / legend on what each code means.” – U05

  8. Field Studies – upcoming tasks • Test prototype • 5 to 8 users • Provide feedback to software developers • Test again (if necessary)

  9. Software – Current Progress • Can read a floor plan • Can draw a floor plan • Query books • Extendable and configurable

  10. Software – Upcoming Tasks • Refine system based on user testing • Mimic some key parts of the current web site • Add more functionality (directions as well as mapping) • Improve the art :)
