JISC

This project is a study of students' and researchers' use of information resources in Business and Economics using observation techniques and cognitive task analysis, and also drawing on analyses of usage data.

Aims

The aims of the study are to:

• demonstrate the issues that real users face when navigating the Web and interacting with scholarly resources
• identify the implications of these findings for publishers, librarians and others who design interfaces and resource discovery systems and environments 
• highlight to JISC, publishers and librarians areas where further research or activity is needed

This study was commissioned by the Publishers' Action Group and awarded following an invitation to tender.
