Usability Testing for Library Websites: A Hands-On Guide
$35.00
As Mr. Battenfeld has chosen to neglect, the text is meant as a hands-on guide, not an in-depth study in web site usability. In testing web site accessibility in my own endeavors, I found this book informative, enlightening, and straightforward as it was meant to present. Hands-on references are targeting those who not only are employed in the field, but also who need an overview of potential risks and benefits in testing procedures. This book surfaced the obvious that most theoretical texts dismiss, like buy-in, scripts, disclaimers, etc. - vital aspects that are often not discussed or mentioned in less practical application books. I would like to thank the authors for providing the general public, with a practical reference we can consult as we conduct our own testing procedures. A definite recommendation for new reference material. As I am not a library specialist, but work as a web programmer, educator, and proponent of universal web design, this text was extremely helpful and practical.

I am one of the authors of this book. Courney wrote the anonymous review, icepixy, about her perception of my teaching, which is inappropriate for a public review of a book. Note that her rating is two stars different from the other ratings.

A very good review of testing for the web. It is one of the three or four title worth reading on this subject

A Step-by-Step Guide to Usability Testing
$13.95
It is very handy and easy to find what you want to know. But, each chapter is kept very short and compact, if you want to know the topic in depth, you have to refer other books. So, I recommend this book for beginners and others' quick check use. Also, there is no chapter on how to analyze the data got from UT, which I really wanted to know.
