Abstract

Abstract Web design standards have evolved considerably since the introduction of smartphones and tablets, but many academic library websites have fallen behind, perhaps due to a lack of internal user experience (UX) research and design practices. This article presents a discussion of various UX research and design methods undertaken by the Pratt Institute Libraries via collaboration with courses in Pratt’s School of Information. Projects discussed include web analytics, user testing, online surveys, personas definition, card sorting, and prototyping. The insights gained from this study may be of assistance to other academic libraries planning to redesign and improve their online experience.

自从智能手机和平板电脑出现以来，网页设计标准已经发生了很大的变化，但许多学术图书馆网站却落后了，这可能是由于缺乏内部用户体验(UX)研究和设计实践。本文介绍了普拉特学院图书馆通过与普拉特信息学院的课程合作进行的各种用户体验研究和设计方法的讨论。讨论的项目包括网络分析、用户测试、在线调查、角色定义、卡片分类和原型。从本研究中获得的见解可能有助于其他计划重新设计和改进其在线体验的学术图书馆。

期刊介绍： College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
