Description
Walden University students rely heavily on the Library’s popular subject research guides to direct them to the best library resources and to build their research skills. These guides had the potential to positively impact student success, but suffered from information overload and outdated design. Over the course of several months, data was collected and analyzed via Google Analytics, heat map software, anonymous session replays, and feedback solicited from students and staff. This session will discuss the data and analysis, our design process, and the final product, including a discussion about our initial findings post-redesign.
