Invitation to Participate in Research on Accessibility and Usability
of Two Digital Libraries – Using a Diary Are you legally blind and age
18 or older? Do you use computers non-visually by listening to a
screen-reader software? Do you have at least three years of experience
searching for information on the Internet? Are you comfortable
verbalizing your thoughts in English? If your response is yes to all,
you can earn $100 for participating in a research study. A research
team comprising blind and sighted scholars at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee is investigating the accessibility and usability
of digital libraries (DLs) for users who are blind. The goal is to
create digital library design guidelines to design DLs that aid blind
and visually impaired people in the effective search for information
online. Volunteers selected as study participants will be instructed
to keep a diary for their interaction. Participants will complete a
diary based on a diary template as they search for specified
information in two digital libraries. The participants may complete
the diaries at a time convenient to the participant over the course of
two weeks. In addition, participants will be asked to complete several
questionnaires and a short follow up interview. The complete study
might take about 3.5 hours. Upon completion of the study, the
participant will receive a $100 gift card as a token of appreciation.
If you are interested in participating, or have a question about the
study, please contact Melissa Castillo (email: castil44 at uwm.edu).
Please reference project title: “Creating digital library design
guidelines on accessibility, usability and utility for blind and
visually impaired (BVI) users.” (IRB#:17.264) in the subject line of
the email. Please pass on this information to other suitable
candidates who you think may be interested.
