Card sorting game garners student responses

Zoe Chao, user experience librarian and Web Implementation Management Team (WIMT) member, conducted a “card sorting” game with students in the Weltmann Service Lobby last week. Various library services were written on the cards, and students were asked to pick out cards they considered as services, group the cards and label the groups.

This is just one of the many usability studies that WIMT is undertaking in advance of the Libraries’ website migration from Adobe CQ to Drupal. The site will be more contemporary, modern and simplified, and all changes will be based on analytics and usability studies as well as recommendations from the Penn State Office of Strategic Communications.
