Library News for the Friends of the UMass Amherst Libraries

Message from Jay:

Here’s a twist on the traditional conversation. “Libraries aren’t just about coffee.” With the success of the LearningCommons and our emphasis on the “non-traditional” aspects of service at UMass Amherst Libraries, it is important to tell both sides of the story.

Protocol Analysis Of A Federated Search Tool: Designing For Users, Emily R. Alling, Rachael Naismith

University Libraries Publication Series

Librarians at Springfield College conducted usability testing of Endeavor's federated search tool, ENCompass for Resource Access. The purpose of the testing was to make informed decisions prior to customizing the look and function of the software's interface in order to make the product more usable for their patrons. Protocol, or think-aloud, analysis was selected as a testing and analysis method. Subjects from the general college community were recruited and given a list of tasks to perform on ENCompass, and they were asked to speak all of their thoughts out loud as they worked. Upon analyzing the test results, researchers found …
