Abstract

 
 
 The primary objective of this study is to determine the usability of the Newspaper-on- DVD project of the Rizal Library, Ateneo de Manila University and to make recommendations that will help improve the system and expand its usage. In 2000, Library started transforming the preserved newspaper from microfilm to digital images. The library then provided an easier mode of access by providing a search tool that will link the index to the images and to the printers. A descriptive evaluative research method through usability testing was used in this study. Ten representative students were asked to complete a series of tasks using NP-DVD. Based on the test, the researcher was able to identify usability problems and recommended futures actions to enhance the system. These problems characterize the difficulties users face while using library search tools available not only in the libraries but also in the internet.
