| contents | The Researcher's Journey: Scholarly Navigation of an Academic Library Web Site McCann, Steve Ravas, Tammy Zoellner, Kate Academic Libraries Navigation (Information Systems) Web Sites Interviews Teacher Attitudes Student Attitudes User Satisfaction (Information) Observation Information Seeking Usability Use Studies Computer Software Evaluation A qualitative study of the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library's Web site identified the ways in which students and faculty of the University of Montana used the site for research purposes. This study employed open-ended interview questions and observations to spontaneously capture a user's experience in researching topics in which they specialized. Four thematic recommendations emerged from nine study participants: increase the readability and consistency of the library's Web site, provide research guidance and ease of navigation, offer task-based services that maximize technology, and enable customization. The study led to Web site modifications and a formalized process by which the library will approach subsequent Web site design. (Contains 8 figures and 2 notes.) |
