Re: [CODE4LIB] Library Website Redesign Info and Project Plans
Hey, I'd like to recommend this assessment tool (here's a 3 pager about it): http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/17585/1/jcdl09_lightweighteval_mwilson.pdf It allows you to analyse re-designs from a series of different user perspectives. The paper is from a lightweight eval workshop at the digital libraries conference this year. I'd be more than happy to talk to you more about it if you have any questions. I should say it's a little in progress still, so I'm here to help. Further, I'm keen to work on some case studies of people using it to see how they find it. So perhaps there can be a 2 way flow of benefit :) all the best Max Wilson -- n - max wilson e - cs...@swan.ac.uk w - www.cs.swan.ac.uk/~csmax/ t - +44 (0) 1792 602611 -- On 17 Sep 2009, at 14:37, Susan Teague Rector wrote: Oh, I forgot to mention (Eric's post just reminded me of this) that I've found user testing to be the best way to balance that staff v. user perspective issue.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Who is working on METS Viewer applications
Hi, Repke,
Many of the digital objects [1] visible through VirgoBeta [2], which
is an installation of Blacklight [3], are stored as METS. For each
METS file we index the relevant parts in solr, and we have a
middleware application that can easily grab relevant bits of it for re-
purposing, so that we can use our METS data in many places without
having many places where METS must be understood and interpreted. This
middleware app is just a set of XSL transformations, held together by
cocoon, of the form:
http://{URL FOR APP}/{ID OF METS FILE}/{descMeta | adminMeta |
technicalMeta | rightsMeta | MIX | getParts } (This is from memory, so
I know I'm leaving out some of our metadata streams and mis-naming
others.)
We also create a Fedora object for each METS file with externally
managed datastreams that reference each of the metadata datastreams.
This is sort of a belt-and-suspenders approach, I realize, and I plan
to re-examine it as this project progresses.
Then Blacklight has object-class specific views that know how to
display these various parts (data is drawn from solr for the search
results, and from the metadata streams for the full record display).
One of the views we're particularly interested in, which we haven't
yet tackled, is a viewer for our digitized manuscripts. We have
digitized manuscripts represented as METS files, in the system I've
described above, but we're still working on displaying these to end
users. I love what you've created with the DFG Viewer! I hope you
don't mind if I borrow some of your UI ideas. Nicely done.

It seems the number of our authors/researchers using bibliographic management s/w at all is pretty small.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Library Website Redesign Info and Project Plans
Hello! I agree with others who have recommended Jesse James Garrett's work. We are in the roll-out phase of our CMS implementation/redesign and I relied heavily on Garrett's book in the early phases. We took an iterative user-focused approach within a broad phased project plan, making sure we had user voices in each step in some form. (We relied on work by Jakob Nielsen, Steve Krug, usability.gov, and others.) Our public face for communicating progress was a blog: http://library.osu.edu/blogs/lipp. Internally, we kept our project plans in dotProject, which doesn't have the best method for outputting the whole plan to share. I plan to write it all up at some point and will be happy to share with you and the list if there is interest. I'll be presenting about the CMS Selection and Implementation part of this project at the LITA National Forum in a few weeks, so that's where I'm starting on the writing up part. Once the presentation is finished I'll be able to share that if you are interested. I hope this helps!
