Hi

Further to my Editorial in today's FreePint, I would like to raise a debate on usability here at the FreePint Bar.

What are the different usability approaches that those with a library science background bring to Web site development?

How do these approaches compare to usability professionals with backgrounds in other disciplines such as human computer interaction, information design or psychology?

I wonder how many new roles and job titles there are for IT savvy librarians in Web site Usability?

There are some interesting starting points for debate at the UPA web site at http://digbig.com/4bkas

Please post your thoughts and comments in reply to this posting.

Regards and thanks
Annabel Colley
