[MNASIS-L] ASIST/SLA meeting in January - Intranet Usability with local expert

[Ann Treacy]

Helping Them Help Themselves or Developing Guidelines for a Usable Intranet 

Jan 11 Save the Date!

 

Librarians have been helping patrons find information forever! In a
traditional library we use a catalog, we collocate items, we use signage,
and we create pathfinders. We are experts at usability. We know all of the
tricks and tips for getting the patron to her end goal. 

 

But what about the tricks and tips for helping users find what they need on
your Intranet? Do they exist? Can we create them? This session will be a
great start for understanding Intranet usability and defining some best
practice guidelines.

 

Our speaker will be DeeDee DeMuling, local usability expert. DeeDee has her
own company (Prodex Consulting) and consults with national companies about
usability of Intranets, software, web sites and more. DeeDee is also a very
active member of the Minnesota chapter of the Usability Professional
Association. (This is an organization that may be of great interest to some
of us!)

 

We are still finalizing a few of the details. (We're trying to book a very
fun restaurant near St. Kate's.) Here is what we know so far.

 

Date: January 11

Time: 5:30 - 7:45 (dinner to start around 6:00)

Cost:    $30 for SLA/ASIST members

            $20 for students/unemployed members
            $40 for non-members

 

If you have any questions, please email us at (atreacy at treacyinfo.com).
Otherwise we'll be back with more ASAP!

 

Have a great holiday!    Ann
