The interface design of mobile library: A case study

Abstract

This study aims to improve user experience by seeking users’ needs. We want to design a new attractive mobile library interface with more usability and characters of China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) and give design criteria of the mobile library. We design the first interface by reviewing current mobile libraries and literature. We interviewed 30 students for three design stages. Finally, we designed a mobile library prototype using Axure RP and give our design guidelines. This study aims to develop suitable interface and functions for the mobile library, using China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) as a case. We give our design guideline for the mobile library, which is useful to the development of university mobile libraries.
