Usability & Accessibility
USABILITY
The GIL OPAC/Discovery Committee will conduct usability studies of GIL-Find as testing needs are identified, including for general usability, accessibility, and mobile use.
All institutions conducting their own usability testing are encouraged to report their findings to the OPAC/Discovery Committee using the form at http://goto.gil.usg.edu/changeform.
For general information on usability testing, see this ExLibris Knowledge Center article.
