PostPoster from Emerging Leaders Team D Usability Project

I wanted to share the poster from the Emerging Leaders Team D Usability Project, in case you had a scheduling conflict that prevented your seeing it at annual. I asked the members of Team D ( Susan Franklin, Beth Larkee, Zeth Lietzau, Jack Maness) to design a project that would build on some interesting threads that emerged from the focus groups held at Midwinter. They were asked to follow up on Council and NMRT, looking for age or ALA-experience vs. newbies differences in website usage and needs. They did a really fantastic job!
