UVic librarian Marnie Swanson presents a $50 UVic bookstore gift certificate to Amy Houle, a fourth-year student in Spanish and French and winner in a draw for students who volunteered in a usability test of the libraries Gateway Web site. Reference librarians Kathryn Paul and Cheryl Lumley conducted the study with the help of two student assistants. Each volunteer worked through a set of questions which required finding information using the site. The results are being analysed and will be used to help the library design a more effective and user-friendly Web site.
