Abstract
This poster examines the results of a usability study of the basic and visual search functions of Follett’s Destiny catalog for K-12 schools. The study was conducted with a sample of seven middle school students. Overall, the results indicate that the participants found the system usable. Suggestions are offered for the design of the software. A larger study examining the additional features of Destiny is planned for the future.
