- The most significant finding was the universal difficulty in placing a hold request. It was unclear where or how to initiate the request, or how to link the patron and item information to make a request. Button terminology will be changed to make it clear to click the button that will complete the request (not start over, as currently interpreted). Inventory will be changed to position a “request this item” button near the top of the item information block
- Most patrons testers wanted to search for an item by call number; that functionality was not present in the test, but is added as part of the MVP
- Some testers found pop-up messages confusing; too much information
- Some didn’t understand the difference between the terms “sponsor” and “proxy,” but once understood, found it easy to select the appropriate profile
- Good findings: working in fee/fine screens was easy and intuitive; check-in and checkout were easy; Darcy Branchini said that Cornell tester Tobi Hines found that transitioning to FOLIO terminology from Voyager terminology was surprisingly easy
- Bottom line: there needs to be a stronger/more obvious path between searching for something and doing something with it. Button placement and labeling are crucially important.
Flash! After the meeting, Kimie reported that a JIRA issue has been created to address the problem of confusing drop-down menu selections at the top of the screen.
