| contents | Mapping the Stacks: Sustainability and User Experience of Animated Maps in Library Discovery Interfaces McMillin, Bill Gibson, Sally MacDonald, Jean Library Science Users (Information) Academic Libraries Library Services Public Libraries Testing Maps Library Personnel Librarians Online Catalogs Computer Graphics Computer Interfaces Undergraduate Students Graduate Students Navigation (Information Systems) Library Automation Usability Books Library Materials Animated maps of the library stacks were integrated into the catalog interface at Pratt Institute and into the EBSCO Discovery Service interface at Illinois State University. The mapping feature was developed for optimal automation of the update process to enable a range of library personnel to update maps and call-number ranges. The development and implementation process for both institutions is discussed. Usability testing was conducted at Illinois State University to assess how well the feature helps students to locate items throughout the library. Researchers found that students are able to use the feature to successfully navigate through the stacks, but initially they have trouble locating the feature in the interface. |
