Discovery Service

<p>Discovery tools are emerging in libraries. These tools offer library patrons the ability to concurrently search the library catalog and journal articles. While vendors rush to provide feature-rich interfaces and access to as much content as possible, librarians wonder about the usefulness of these tools to library patrons. In order to learn about both the utility and usability of EBSCO Discovery Service, James Madison University conducted a usability test with eight students and two faculty members. The test consisted of nine tasks focused on common patron requests or related to the utility of specific discovery tool features. Software recorded participants’ actions and time on task, human observers judged the success of each task, and a post-survey questionnaire gathered qualitative feedback and comments from the participants.  Overall, participants were successful at most tasks, but specific usability problems suggested some interface changes for both EBSCO Discovery Service and JMU’s customizations of the tool.  The study also raised several questions for libraries above and beyond any specific discovery tool interface, including the scope and purpose of a discovery tool versus other library systems, working with the large result sets made possible by discovery tools, and navigation between the tool and other library services and resources.  This article will be of interest to those who are investigating discovery tools, selecting products, integrating discovery tools into a library web presence, or performing evaluations of similar systems.</p>

Artificial Environment

The only way to judge a product's acceptance in the workplace is through its use. However, before a product is released into the marketplace, its developers would like to predict its acceptability in the target market. One predictor of acceptability is usability test results. Typically, usability testing takes place outside of the user's natural environment in a usability test lab, an artificial environment. This article suggest ways in which ethnographic principles, historically used to describe a culture from the point of view of someone within that culture, can be used along with traditional usability testing to predict a product's acceptability in the marketplace.

In meeting good software standards, testing of software quality is required. Usability is an aspect of software The purpose of this study is to obtain the usability test evaluation results on AMIK Indonesia's e-Repository with the efficiency and error factor based on the Nielsen's Attributes of Usability (NAU) questionnaire method, so that later it will be made as a suggestion and recommendation for the development of AMIK Indonesia's e-Repository based on the results The test is to improve the quality of the website in the usability aspect. This research method is divided into 4 stages consisting of activities in it, consisting of; 1) Initiation, 2) Pre-User Testing, 3) Pre-User Testing, and 4) Post User Testing. The sample of users was 22 students consisting of Class 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 who were active students of AMIK Indonesia. From the results of the achievement of research conducted that the usability test with Nielsen's Attributes of Usability (NAU) model can be applied in finding the quality level of a website. From the test results, the level of success in the UT-7, UT-8, and UT-10 tests with achievements of less than 80% of respondents failed to answer. For success rates above 80% on testing UT-1, UT-2, UT-3, UT-4, UT-5, UT-6, and UT-9. The results of the analysis carried out very satisfying interpretation of 14, Satisfied 1, Satisfied 2, Not Satisfied 1. As for the interpretation of dissatisfaction with questions with the ER14 code and quite satisfied with the ER12 and ER13 codes which are all three dimensions of error.Keywords:Usability, Evaluation, e-Repository, Website Quality, Nielsen's Attributes of Usability (NAU).

The technology usefulness are very important especially on the transportation industry. Watertransportation still important in Bali. This kind of transportation very useful to help tourist orlocals reach the remote island like Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan. In Bali also known asfastboat. This one very popular to use to visit Nusa Penida, one of the small islands in the eastof Bali. But the conditions today, everyone who wants to go to Nusa Penida, always take offastboat transportation, by buying fastboat tickets on Sanur Beach, Kusamba Beach orPadang Bai Harbour. Tourists who come to Bali also do the same thing if they want to go toNusa Penida. tourists still have to use social media to search for fastboat tickets and book viachat application. In addition, there are also those who are looking for boat tickets bycontacting one by one the existing boat operators either by telephone, or whatsapp shortmessage. This condition is a problem because tourists and people who want to go there mustspend time longer. In addition, there is still potential for crime through social media, forexample selling fake fastboat tickets by unofficial agents. because not all boat ticket sellersare partner with existing official fastboat operators. This study aims to examine the usefulnessor usability of android mobile applications for online booking of fastboat tickets from Bali toNusa Penida or return. In addition, this research has succeeded in building applications thatcan facilitate users to compare boat ticket prices and can order at once on the same platform.This usability test contains 5 aspects of usability: learnability, efficiency of use, memorability,error and satisfaction. The usability test results in this application showed 83.3% stated theease of use of the application login that contained aspects of efficiency of use, memorabilityand satisfaction.

Preliminary Results

In this study, preliminary results of zeolite application to reduce the compaction temperature of mix asphalt are presented and discussed. The reference mix was an asphalt concrete AC 16 W containing 35/50 penetration grade bitumen and designed for binder course. Two types of the zeolites were used for tests: natural zeolite klinoptilolit and synthetic NaP1 one. The optimal amount of zeolite addition was determined on the basis of the compactibility test results in the Marshall compactor as well as in the gyratory compactor. The results of stiffness modulus and waterproofness tests confirm the possibility to reduce the compaction temperature of asphalt mixes with zeolite additions to 1300C level.
