In March of 1999 the MIT Libraries Web Advisory Group conducted a usability test of the libraries' web site. The purpose was:
- to set some benchmarks for measuring the success of future site designs
- to identify specific usability problems as a starting point for improving the site design
This site contains a summary of what was learned by this test. See "observed problems" for a summary of the top 5 usability problems.
