Explanation of User Research Project
Explanation, User, Research, Project
Complete the requirements listed below:
User Research
Using Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, complete the steps below for the user research
portion of the project:
St
ep
1
User Analysis. Identify the characteristics of your user population. If you have
multiple user classes (types of stakeholders), identify each one. Create a persona
for each type of primary stakeholder. You need to include at least two user
personas.
St
ep
2
Task Analysis. Determine the tasks of the problem you've chosen and analyze their
characteristics. Think about other questions you should ask that might be relevant
to your particular domain. You should find and analyze at least three tasks. If you
can't find that many tasks in your problem, try drilling down to more specific tasks,
and consider exceptional and emergency tasks. Write a Hierarchical Task Analysis
(as done in class) for each task. At this stage you should be focused on the
abstract steps of each task and should not be thinking about what your interface
will look like yet.
St
ep
3
Problem Scenario Analysis. For each task, write a paragraph-length problem
scenario: a concrete, realistic example of the task.
St
ep
4
Usability Requirements. Think about what usability metrics make sense for your
project and specify at least two measurable usability criteria for your final system
(e.g., "Users will score satisfaction at least 4.0 on a 1-7 scale following
performance of two standardized tasks.").
Design and Wireframes
Using one of the UI tools, complete the following:
Ste
p 1
Sketches: Take time to brainstorm a variety of different interface designs, sketching
them by hand on paper or digitally. You should play with many more than two
designs, but you only need to record two.
Ste
p 2
Storyboards: Using the scenario, generate one preliminary design for your user
interface. Explain each design and include a storyboard showing how it works for
your scenario. The storyboard should combine words with sketches showing how
the interface would look over the course of the scenario.
Ste
p 3
Wireframes: After the storyboard, you should have an analysis that considers the
design's good and bad points for learnability, visibility, efficiency, and error
prevention. Create a digital wireframe of the UI design. The wireframes should
include all screens needed to complete the scenario.
Ste
p 4
Presentation: Present the storyboard and wireframes professionally. This could be
completed by using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc. Include: describe the design
for each of the wireframes – justify your design decisions.

Putting It All Together
IAKM-60112-001-201560: Advance Information Architecture
Putting It All Together
Overview of the Project The areas of focus Upper Sandusky Community Library site
were to:
1. Organize the site’s content that makes sense to the users 2. Easily provide access to
current events, on-line tools and applications 3. Help the user find their way to the
information they need on the site 4. Provide an organized on-line catalog 5. Create a
more attractive landing page 6. Update the site’s technology but also making it easy
enough for the current staff to update the site
The other issues that were addressed included: 1. No visual breadcrumbs; users should
know where they are at all times on the site. 2. No search function for the site itself; user
needs quick access to the whole site. 3. Create a better layout for the homepage.
Display some information that attracts the user to want to continue their experience of
the site.
4. Add an actual footer at the bottom so that the user can access contact information
quickly, and also so that users can request additional information. 5. Change some of
the label titles to make it clearer and more understandable to the user. 6. Keep the
navigation types consistent. 7. Use better visual contextual clues so that users knows
that an image is just an image, or if it's a click-able button.
The Research Interviews Research was conducted at the South Bowie Branch Library
located in Bowie MD. The library is fairly new, and has an area dedicated and designed
for the younger readers. The library also has meeting and conference rooms avail- able
to rent. Two librarians from the South Bowie Branch Library were asked in person the
following questions in order to learn and understand why people are using municipal
sites:
1. What type of people most commonly use your website? 2. Why do they come to the
site, what are they doing? 3. What challenges do they face when using your website?
Research Sources According to PEW Internet and Pew Research Centers, libraries
have to shift their focus to add more e-book options because of their customer’s new
reading habits. Mothers like that libraries offer service to help educate their young
children and also because its a free service. Teens and young adults like new
technologies and would most likely use a GPS application to find material at the library,
and Redbox like kiosks for books and movies.
Labeling, Taxonomy & Navigation Preformed a Treejack study using four participants to
assess the information architecture design. Also tested the navigation using Chalkmark
using four participants and wireframe sketches.
Putting It All Together
Personas Karen Williams is a stay-at-home mother of two children who also has a blog
called Free Range Mom for other moms and suggest free activities for small children.
Karen stopped working at her 9 to 5 as an editor for an on- line magazine after giving
birth to her second child.
Her and her husband agreed money would be tight, but it was the best decision
because of the rising cost of daycare for two small children. Plus, she can spend lots
more time with her children while they were young and be a little more hands on in their
early development stages.
Because Karen’s children are not in a daycare setting, she still wants them to interact
and gain good social skills with other children. When her children are both ready to
enter elementary school, Karen will return to the work- force.
Karen visits her local library website to check the schedule for free story time, and has
even joined a reading club for her oldest at the library that meets every 2nd and 4th
Wednesday. Karen often blogs about the free services at the library and also provides a
link to her readers that connects them to the library’s calendar page.
Goals: • Attend free literacy programs for her young children • Keep her children
engaged and social with their peers • Provide free and useful information to her readers
Karen Williams “Busy dot YEAH!!!!”
Tina Gray is a nurse practitioner and a single mother of two 12-year-old twin girls. She
works at a community clinic and some weekends she may pick up a shift working on-
call at the local hospital. Her live-in mother often helps with caring for the girls when
Tina is at work.
Raising tween-aged girls is a difficult job for the very busy Tina, because the girls don’t
want to do homework, so assignments are often done at the last minute. Also, Tina’s
mother doesn’t drive, so during Tina’s break at work she logs on to the library’s site and
reserves books for her girls and picks them up after her shift.
Tina also receives email notification when checked-out books are overdone. If Tina is
working an extra shift and doesn’t have time to stop by the library, she simply logs on
her library account and renews her daughters' books. Goals:
• Be able to reserve books on-line and pick-up at the library quickly • Renew books
through the website without having to pay late fees • Reserve and then pickup books at
a later time
