The CCSU Library is seeking volunteers for a usability test of its online “CentralSearch” tool. This is a study of the ease-of-use of the library’s primary “catalog” / “search engine”. Participants sign up for a 15-20 minute session during which they conduct searches using “CentralSearch” to answer several questions and explain their thoughts and feelings about the product while they use it. The test sessions will be conducted at the library.

The results of this work will be used as feedback for the CSCU

consortial library system to optimize the interface and/or report to the system’s vendor about issues that are found by our students.

We will offer “gift bags” for our test participants as a token of our gratitude for their time and willingness to help us improve our online offerings!

To sign up for a time, get a “ticket” through Eventbrite at http://bit.ly/libraryusability or contact Sharon Clapp, Digital Resources Librarian, at sclapp@ccsu.edu or 860-832-2059.
