Current System • How to find a library book:
Current System • How to find a library book: • Obtain the book’s location code (ex. “HC430.6”)
Current System • How to find a library book: • Obtain the book’s location code (ex. “HC430.6”) • Find the floor that the “H” shelves are on
Current System • How to find a library book: • Obtain the book’s location code (ex. “HC430.6”) • Find the floor that the “H” shelves are on • Find the “HC” shelves on that floor
Current System • How to find a library book: • Obtain the book’s location code (ex. “HC430.6”) • Find the floor that the “H” shelves are on • Find the “HC” shelves on that floor • Look for the book at “HC430.6”
The Problem • Requires users to be familiar with the library layout
The Problem • Requires users to be familiar with the library layout • Requires users to search for shelves before the book, among multiple floors
The Problem • Requires users to be familiar with the library layout • Requires users to search for shelves before the book, among multiple floors • Finding shelf locations and a specific book is not always quick and easy
Project Overview • Create a new system that will allow users to find a book with minimal effort and maximum ease • How? • Who? • What?
The “How” • Usability Testing • Ask users to find book x with the current system • Ask users to find book x with the new system • Find out user thought processes (ie “Think out loud”) • Take notes • Should take about 5 to 10 minutes Semi-Structured Interviews User opinions, ideas, dislikes, likes, etc. Ask new questions when new interests arise Take notes Should take about 5 to 10 minutes

The “How” • Internal Heuristic Evaluation • 131 guidelines, etc.
The “How” • Internal Heuristic Evaluation • 131 guidelines, etc. • Cognitive Walkthrough • Walk through tasks – reveal global errors, etc.
Sample Interview Questions • How long do you typically take to find a book? • How often do you check out books? • What do you like about the system? • What do you dislike about the system? • What would make the system easier to use?
The “Who” • Anyone that uses the library • Undergrads, Grads, Professors
The “Who” • Anyone that uses the library • Undergrads, Grads, Professors • Approximately 10 users to interview and analyze using the current system
The “Who” • Anyone that uses the library • Undergrads, Grads, Professors • Approximately 10 users to interview and analyze using the current system • Approximately 5 to 8 users to interview and analyze using the new system
The “What” • Our goal is to create a system that will: • Inform the user of his/her current location
The “What” • Our goal is to create a system that will: • Inform the user of his/her current location • Graphically direct the user to the book’s location • Arrows, landmarks, intuitive graphics
