In this paper we present an overview of the usability issues related to the Virtual Data Center (VDC) digital library. Usability testing and heuristics were an integral part of the development process from the inception of the project and throughout its evolution. The developers of the VDC have used the findings from usability evaluations to identify several prominent usability issues present within the digital library. Test results continue to exert a positive and valuable influence on both system redesign and the implementation of new features.
