From: Robyn Fizz <fizz@MIT.EDU>
Other than the impending *major* redesign of the Help gateway, I don't
think there are pressing issues for the IS Home Page team this week.
Instead of a meeting, I'd like to encourage everyone to attend the CWIS-Pub
meeting outlined below.
Please keep plugging away at whatever assignments you've taken on that
aren't wrapped up yet (e.g., Product Support Sheets, Project Management, NT
Printing).
Thanks,
Robyn

>How do you know if that snazzy site of yours is really accomplishing all
>its goals? Maybe things are harder to find there than you think.
>
>One of the best ways to analyze your site is to conduct usability tests.
>Next Thursday, MIT Libraries Web Manager Nicole Hennig will discuss the
>usability tests they conducted in March. She'll cover why observed
>usability testing is better than surveys or focus groups, how they
>conducted the test, and what they learned from it to help improve their
>site.

>Those of you who can't attend (or who want to do a little preliminary
>studying) can find the details of the Libraries' tests at:

>http://macfadden.mit.edu:9500/webgroup/usability/results/index.html
>
>The web site includes materials that can be adapted for doing your own
>usability test.
