Navigating User Limits and E-book Device Compatibility Testing

Abstract

With the increased presence of ebooks in our collections, ebooks present specific challenges for our users. The UMD Libraries are attempting to address these needs by conducting an internal usability testing project to identify issues such as accessibility, discoverability and general functionality. This project will lead to the creation of a troubleshooting guide for users as well as accompanying programming slated for Spring in the form of an open house where we will work with our campus community to get readers and devices e-book ready.
