- Abstract
- Since most academic libraries have already built their online presence, the usability of those library web sites becomes an important issue. This paper describes a usability study on the Duke University's Perkins Library Web site, which was conducted to evaluate the design of the web site, identify usability problems, and set benchmarks for measuring future site designs. Nineteen tasks and two questionnaires were designed for a usability test with twenty participants. The results of the test were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively, and suggestions for the improvement of the Perkins Library Web site were made.
