Usability Testing, Field Testing, and Expert Review at the Library of Congress Site. The
introduction to the guide has this to say about their policy on usability testing. "In
the early days of the LC Web Site, the Library's major focus was simply making resources
available. As the site and the number of users have grown and matured, we want to ensure
that the Library's resources are not only available but accessible. At the Web Site level,
the Library of Congress is committed to pursuing a variety of usability testing techniques
and strategies. Individual Web Projects may require lesser or more informal usability
testing." --mak 2/16/99
