EBSCO is working to create an innovative research platform that aims to deliver better content with intuitive interfaces and improved user experience. The search results block is the most critical part of the research workflow/journey. The search results page serves as an end-point of information hunting and illuminating the path towards digestible results.
EBSCO’s User Experience team will be conducting in-person moderated usability sessions, at Simmons UX lab on August 28th and 29th. We are looking for user feedback on the new search results block designs. Our moderator will guide you through the session. This session will be about 30 minutes. During the session, you will be provided with designs and you will be asked to review them and complete tasks and questions we have for you. There are no right or wrong answers. Your honest feedback would be most valuable.
Here’s what participation would mean for you:
- 30 min. in person moderated usability session to take place at Simmons College UX lab.
- Evaluate the usability of the search results block – content hierarchy, navigation, effectiveness, ease of use, satisfaction
- Identify which part of the design works for users and what fails
- Understand user needs and preferences – what brings happiness
- Determine what changes are needed to improve the usability of the search results block
- You will receive $100.00 Amazon gift card for your time and participation.
