[.uk] Usability Testing for Library Websites: A Hands-On Guide (ISBN 0838935117)

An overview of usability and thensome...:
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.
