- A Case of TMI (Too Much Information): Improving the Usability of the Library's Website through the Implementation of LibAnswers and the A-Z Database List (LibGuides v2) Tobias, Christine Usability Web Sites Program Implementation Library Services Information Management Library Development Academic Libraries Program Improvement Access to Information Database Management Systems Database Design The Michigan State University (MSU) Libraries' Website has a case of TMI: too much information organized by librarians for librarians. Finding relevant information about various library services, including the 24/7 Distance Learning Support Line, and access points to scholarly resources is often cumbersome, and given the limited time and staffing available in Web Services, it was impractical to embark on a comprehensive Website redesign. Instead, the implementation of two systems, LibAnswers and the A-Z Database List in LibGuides v2 CMS, served as a means for addressing the TMI issue and improving the usability of the MSU Libraries' Website. This case study will map the MSU Libraries' experience of implementing the LibAnswers and the A-Z Database List from early vision to launching the end product, as a means for resolving the "too much information" issue and improving the usability of the library's Website.
