Minutes - 2 January 2003

Present: Hennig (chair), Duke, Edelman, Quirion, Skuce (minutes)
Guests: Angie Locknar, Kate McNeill-Harman, Pam Nicholas

The entire meeting was devoted to generating possible solutions to problems identified during the November usability tests. The group made considerable progress, and Nicole continues to compile the results of our discussions.

Because the usability tests covered a wide range of resources and services available through the Libraries' web site, many of the proposed improvements generated through this round of testing will require the input and expertise of various other groups and individuals in order to be implemented. The Barton OPAC design group has asked us to forward our Barton-related comments to them before Jan. 13, so they can work on them right away.

WAG has decided that we should conduct a small number of additional tests with people who, unlike our November testers, have had minimal prior exposure to the web site. Darcy and Angie will work on a signup form, and recruiting strategies, for this difficult-to-identify population.

Next meeting

Wednesday, January 8, 2003, 2:30-4pm; Music conference room (WAG + SFX)
