Hello,
The Usability and Accessibility group of the ArchivesSpace Public User Interface project has provided their final assessment of the current state of the interface. The Usability and Accessibility Group, led by Eve Neiger, accomplished several key tasks, as we have worked to prepare the PUI for implementation at Yale. This includes an accessibility audit of the interface, and two iterations of user testing to examine aspects of the interface, including searching and requesting. Many of the recommendations are in place in our TEST configuration of the PUI, and other suggestions continue to be prioritized as ongoing improvement and development.
The efforts undertaken to ready the new interface represent major work, but the entire ArchivesSpace platform will continue to receive attention and development for the length of its service. There is development that will continue during and after the soft-launch of the PUI, as Yale continues to work with the ArchivesSpace community and external developers.
Eve will also share this report with the broader ArchivesSpace community to help other sites with their own implementations. Additionally, Yale has submitted half a dozen improvement requests to the ArchivesSpace development community to continue to improve both accessibility and usability of the interface for all.
Thank you for all the wonderful work,
Melissa
