Usability Problems

Senior citizens are comparatively vulnerable in accessing learning opportunities offered on the Internet due to usability problems in current web design. In an effort to build a senior-friendly learning web as a part of the Life-long Learning Network in Shanghai, usability studies of two websites currently available to Shanghai senior citizens were conducted, with the intention of integrating these websites into a senior learning web as well as promoting accessibility for senior users. Through this study usability problems were identified generating suggested changes for designing websites focused on learning by seniors. This study contributes empirical findings to the field of information system design and its accessibility for seniors.

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>Contemporary information ecosystems evolve at lightening speed. Last year’s cutting edge innovations are this year’s standard fare and next year’s relics. An information innovation can be implemented, made available through the Internet, and appropriated within 24 hours. Yet, significant societal problems engage much longer timeframes. In 2010 Friedman and Nathan pointed to a fundamental disconnect between mainstream design thinking and these longer-term problems. To address this disconnect, they proposed a multi-lifespan information system design framing. </span></p><p><span>This workshop builds on previous work by the organizers and others to: (1) elaborate and identify new opportunities and challenges in taking up multi-lifespan information system design problems, and (2) generate critical and constructive discussions for further development of multi- lifespan information system design thinking. </span></p></div></div></div>

Sources Of Knowledge

Libraries have books that are references or sources of knowledge that they want to know, sometimes even this information cannot be searched on the internet so that the number of books in the library is very large. With so many books in the library, of course, a system is needed to organize all the books so that these books can be recorded properly so as to reduce the risk of book census errors such as the number of books, borrowers, categories and also the delivery of more detailed information for books. because of that, it takes an information system design for a library. In designing an information system, a concept or research method is needed that can minimize mistakes in the flow of application creation, the method used is Waterfall modeling of this method, an application is made using Java Netbeans with MySQL database. By using this method, the application can run according to the flow, namely the details of the books in the library are in harmony with the actual situation and a decrease in data errors resulting in the loss of some information in the library such as the number of books, the number of borrowings, book details and so on. It makes it easier for users to find the information they want.
