The document summarizes a project conducted by librarians at Mary Baldwin College to gather student input on redesigning the library website on a low budget. They conducted focus groups, think-aloud exercises, discussions, and an online survey to understand how students use and perceive the current website. Key findings included confusion over terminology, a desire for a more modern and visually appealing design, and redundancy in links. Insights from these low-cost methods will be provided to the graphic design team assisting with the college-wide website redesign.
