  • Usability vs. UXSusan’s eBook tech support.
  • Rick Anderson’s column in the June 1 LJ discusses “The Problem of Surplus Value” and how libraries should make sure that what they are offering is what their users want and need—not only in terms of different services, but in terms of “depth” of service.

  • Where’s the browse shelf?
  • 6 Most Common Objectives of Sign Systems:Orientation - A user entering the library or moving from one area to another needs to identify and select relevant resources and establish their general locations within the building.Direction - The user needs to make correct wayfinding decisions as he/she moves along the route from starting point to destination.Identification - The user (who may not be able to distinguish one library resource, tool, or service point from another based on appearance alone) needs to recognize his/her destination upon arrival.Instruction - The user, having arrived at a particular resource, needs to know what to expect from it and how to use it effectively.Regulation - The user needs to know what behavior is forbidden, permitted, or required in a particular area or situation.Current Awareness - The user needs to know about temporary conditions or changes in the library that might affect his/her tasks, as well as library hours, special events, and similar information.
