Project Abstract
This research project aims to explore the restructuring of web page access to a library's programs, services, and collections based on the frequency of use rather than the traditional organizational structure or alphabetical arrangement. The traditional methods of organizing library websites often follow the library's internal structure or alphabetical order, which may not align with the needs and preferences of library users. By prioritizing access based on usage frequency, libraries can enhance user experience, efficiency, and overall satisfaction. The study will involve analyzing user behavior and preferences through data collection methods such as website analytics, user surveys, and focus groups. By understanding which programs, services, and collections are most frequently accessed by users, libraries can rearrange their web pages to highlight these resources more prominently. This user-centric approach aims to streamline access to popular resources, reduce the time users spend searching for information, and improve overall user satisfaction. Furthermore, the research will explore the potential challenges and considerations involved in restructuring web page access based on usage frequency. Factors such as balancing user preferences with library objectives, ensuring equitable access to all resources, and addressing potential resistance to change will be examined. Strategies for effective communication, user education, and feedback mechanisms will be developed to support the implementation of the new access structure. The outcomes of this research project are expected to provide valuable insights for libraries seeking to enhance their online user experience and optimize resource access. By aligning web page access with user behavior patterns, libraries can better meet the needs of their patrons, improve resource visibility, and ultimately increase user satisfaction and engagement with library services. The findings of this study can inform best practices for web page design and organization in libraries, with potential applications for other information organizations seeking to improve user access to their resources.
