Just a quick update on the usability testing of the ICA-AtoM software which
took place last month.

The results of the AAO tests and those undertaken at the City of Vancouver
Archives this month have been described in some detail by the team behind
the software (Artefactual Systems Inc.) at the following site:
http://artefactual.com/wiki/index.php?title=AA0_%26_Vancouver_ICA-AtoM_Usabi
lity_Testing. This summarizes the findings of the tests and also links to
some interesting examples of other online archive systems with 'noteworthy
usability'.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time to help us imp identify ways
of improving the new system, and particular thanks to Jordan Phoenix, who
supervised the testing.

Amanda
