Our goal for the redesign was to improve the findability and understandability of the library\u2019s valuable information resources, and to present them in a manner that would provide a seamless and enjoyable user experience. With empathy at the forefront of our approach, we sought to understand the motivations and pain points of the website\u2019s users, looking for patterns in the way they respond to the site\u2019s organization and presentation of content. By employing a user-centered design process we strived to build a prototype that would make the finding and managing of information more successful and meaningful. Our design is based directly off of feedback from the CUNY Graduate Center Library patrons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Link to slideshow:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1PJn21dZLCYWN1fTvmZdZ-Le_ZNGYwAia7f7Bm9jreps\/edit?usp=sharing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working directly with the CUNY Graduate Center Library, a team of 4 students conducted extensive user research to develop and test the information architecture and iteratively design a responsive high-fidelity prototype of the library&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":525,"featured_media":6738,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[282],"tags":[233],"coauthors":[704,411,705,707],"class_list":["post-6621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-282","tag-user-experience-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/525"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6621"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6920,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6621\/revisions\/6920"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6621"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=6621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
