Enclosed please find the interim report for the above referenced grant. We apologize for the lateness of the report. Despite that lateness, the work of the grant is going fairly well and is on schedule for the most part. The report details what we have done and what we are in the process of doing.
Spending is just about on target, except for the consultant, and that is now being cleared up.
Once again, we appreciate the support of IMLS that enables us to work on this important project to assist libraries and museums in usability testing of their publicly accessible websites. If you would like further information, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, J. Drew Racine Deputy Assistant Director A. Summary of Progress We have completed a statistical module that we are now using to collect and compare data on use of the website. We will continue to work on this module to add reporting capabilities, but this software will be available on the website at the end of the project for any school or library or museum that wishes to use it. We have retained a local usability consultant who has begun meeting regularly with us and will continue to do so throughout the remainder of the project.
