Recenzii

Usability Testing: A Practical Guide for Librarians is precisely what it sets out to be and exactly what library staff need in an age when strong user experience design is not only lauded but expected - a practical guide for librarians who realize aspects of their web interfaces aren't working as well as they would like but aren't sure what to do about it. Blakiston details the process of usability testing clearly, thoroughly and, most importantly, with librarians' specialized needs and often limited resources in mind. A must-read for anyone committed to making library interfaces and websites more usable.
Blakiston translates the usability testing literature into the language of library world, a world where sometimes the usability budget can only afford few candy bars and the most practical recruitment pool for test subjects is the traffic in your lobby. Her book lives up the promise of offering 'a practical guide,' walking you through the roles you need to fill, pitfalls to avoid, and showing ways to document data and reports. It helps you understand why it's important to get started - or keep going - and not to worry too much about your lack of budget, staffing, and expertise. But it also challenges you to aim higher, beyond a few usability tests and toward a sustainable usability program.
