<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The e-Science for New England Librarians Portal team is looking for librarian and library student volunteers to participate in online usability studies of the e-Science Portal for New England Librarians this June.
These studies will inform the portal team about users’ experiences in navigating the portal’s content, searching, and their impressions of the portal design. Volunteers do not need to be familiar with the topic of e-science or the e-Science Portal for New
England Librarians to participate in these usability studies. Participants should plan to allow about 30 minutes to complete the usability task.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
