The firm is called Mile 7 and the person doing the survey is Jayne Shurick, cc'd here. Jayne is interested in doing some user interviews about the web site. Here are the specifics: As you probably know, Bookshare.org has been awarded a large grant by the Department of Education to provide textbooks to students throughout the United States. As part of this grant, the Bookshare.org website is being redesigned to vastly improve accessibility and usability. To kick off this effort, we would like some Bookshare.org users to participate in one-on-one interviews with our contract usability engineer, Jayne Schurick. The interviews will be conducted this week, December 4th and 5th, and will require about 45 minutes of your time. If you are interested in participating, please respond to the questions below. Jayne will select 10 users to participate and will contact you via email to set up a time to talk using your preferred mode of communication. During the interview, Jayne will ask you questions about how you currently use Bookshare.org and your suggestions for the new website. In addition, she will ask you to go to a website that contains some very early prototypes of a new homepage layout. She will ask if you like them and how accessible they are to you. If you're willing to be interviewed, please respond to the following questions in an email to to Jayne at jaynes@xxxxxxxxxx Please feel free to resend this email to any members of Bookshare who are offlist, such as those who belong to Friends of Bookshare. Here are the preliminary questions to help Jayne select those she will interview: Name How long have you been a member of Bookshare.org? On average, how many books do you download per month? Do you submit scanned books? Do you validate books? Are you an educator or a student? Your preferred method of communication, for example by phone or email. Your time zone Preferred day, December 3rd, 4th, or 5th Times you are available Please email your responses to Jayne directly at Jayne Schurick <jaynes@xxxxxxxxx and not to me. I am cc'ing Jayne here. Thanks, Lisa (Manager, Bookshare.org)
