It's amazing how people think and do things so differently than how we librarians imagine and predict.<BR/><BR/>This is heartbreaking: "One tester says that if they want to find printed items (books), <B>they'd rather use Google than our catalog</B> (or even request), looks up the title on Google, then looks for local places where the title may be available."<BR/><BR/>Good luck on the revisions!!CogSciLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738441672197344546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24638929.post-24711581214275919482009-01-14T10:08:00.000-05:002009-01-14T10:08:00.000-05:00Other comments from testers included how text heav...Other comments from testers included how text heavy the pages were, that it took too long to read through everything, and that a lot of it was just repetition.
