Accessing online articles usability test - June 2015

Abstract

On June 23, 2015, Emily Daly and Hollie White conducted usability testing in the lobby of Perkins Library. We interviewed six participants between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The test piloted and modified a week prior with a DUL student assistant. The test consisted of three pre-test questions, three tasks, and five post-test questions; each participant completed all pre-test and post-test questions and two of the three tasks (i.e. Task One and either Task Two-A or Task Two-B). Each test took approximately ten minutes. See Appendix for full usability test script.
