Project Overview: User Experience (UX) Design in Academic Libraries
The project thesis titled “User Experience (UX) Design in Academic Libraries: Improving Online Interfaces for Enhanced Information Seeking Behaviors” aims to explore the importance of user experience in academic libraries’ online interfaces and the impact it has on enhancing information seeking behaviors of users.
Background
Academic libraries play a crucial role in supporting the research and learning activities of students and faculty members. With the increasing shift towards digital resources and online research, the usability and design of online library interfaces have become imperative in providing seamless access to information.
Problem Statement
Despite the availability of vast resources in academic libraries, users often face challenges in navigating through complex interfaces, leading to frustration and inefficiency in information seeking. This project aims to address the issues related to poor user experience in academic library interfaces.
Objectives
- Understand the current user experience design practices in academic libraries
- Identify common challenges faced by users in accessing and retrieving information
- Propose guidelines and recommendations for improving online interfaces in academic libraries
- Evaluate the impact of enhanced user experience on information seeking behaviors
Methodology
The project will involve a comprehensive review of existing literature on user experience design, information seeking behaviors, and academic library interfaces. It will also include case studies and interviews with librarians and users to gather insights and perspectives on the current state of online interfaces.
Expected Outcomes
By the end of the project, we expect to provide a set of actionable recommendations for academic libraries to improve their online interfaces and enhance the overall user experience. This, in turn, is anticipated to positively impact users’ information seeking behaviors, leading to more efficient and effective research and learning outcomes.
Significance of the Study
Improving user experience in academic library interfaces is crucial for meeting the evolving needs of users in the digital age. By focusing on enhancing usability, accessibility, and overall design, academic libraries can better support their users’ information seeking behaviors and ultimately contribute to their academic success.
