Don’t Make Me Think: Web Usability Book on Reserve

Posted on February 19, 2008 by Shannon Cary — No Comments ↓

One resource being used by the Web Advisory Group (WAG) for making decisions about the MU Libraries Web site is the book Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability by Steve Krug. Two copies are available on 7-day reserve if any non-WAG staff are interested. It is a quick and pretty enjoyable read.
