User Research & the Library Tour Podcast

I’m on the User Research subgroup of the UDT and we’re just finishing up some surveys we sent out via email to freshmen and transfer students, as well as posting the survey on the library homepage.

 The email survey has returned 489 responses so far, vs 16 for the website, so we’ll have some pretty good data with which to fill out our personas for the design work.

 Next up is to finish writing the in-depth interview questions and start recruiting our subjects from the list of those respondents who said they’d be interested.  We’re shooting for 4 interviews, 2 freshmen & 2 transfer students, of 30-50 minutes each.

 The library tour podcast is all edited and ready to post.  We’re meeting next week to do that!
