| Summary |
"Unless you're the librarian who set them up, online library services can be hard to navigate. In fact, many users give up in frustration without ever finding what they're looking for. As libraries increasingly use the Web to deliver both in-house and remote services online, it is critical that their sites be engaging, easy to navigate, and created with the end user - the library customer - in mind." "This soup-to-nuts guide will help beginners and experts alike determine in a systematic way how well their Web sites are performing for their customers."--BOOK JACKET. |

Unless you're the librarian who set them up, online library services can be hard to navigate. In fact, many users give up in frustration without ever finding what they're looking for. As libraries increasingly use the Web to deliver both in-house and remote services online, it is critical that their sites be engaging, easy to navigate, and created with the end user - the library customer - in mind. This soup-to-nuts guide will help beginners and experts alike determine in a systematic way how well their Web sites are performing for their customers. Applying the best practices of usability testing, you will learn to guage how easy it is for new users to learn how to navigate and use the site; how engaging the site is so that trained users will return; how effective the site is in pointing users to the information they're looking for; and whether users are motivated to use the technology. |
