Usability testing for greater impact: A primo case study Joy Marie Perrin, Melanie Clark, Esther De-Leon, Lynne Edgar Information Technology and Libraries, 2014 This case study focuses on a usability test conducted by four librarians at Texas Tech University. Eight students were asked to complete a series of tasks using OneSearch, the TTU Libraries’ implementation of the Primo discovery tool. Based on the test, the team identified three major usability problems, as well as potential solutions. These problems typify the difficulties patrons face while using library search tools, but have a variety of simple solutions.
