Abstract
Usability testing is a tool to discover if users are using the site as it was intended. It is best when done repeatedly and the information gathered is applied to the following stages of the website redesign. Academic libraries can partner with course instructors to offer extra credit incentives for completing a usability test. It's best to approach instructors before the semester begins, while they are still designing their courses. The proprietor must administer the usability test in paper or online in a computer format to students during heavily advertised and scheduled sessions. Usability tests should always be conducted in a private space without distractions. It should begin by asking basic demographic information that might inform you as to who the user is. Every usability test yields different information, depending on the people participating in the test and the stage of the website project.
