A series of in-person and task-oriented usability tests were conducted to evaluate the functional interface of the new Carolina Digital Repository system. The participants were ten students affiliated with the School of Information and Library Science at the UNC Chapel Hill, who were also casual users of institutional repository systems. This research generated a list of usability findings based on a compact task evaluation framework, and the results could serve as guidelines for repository interface designers.
