Hi Rachel,<\/p>\n

Just wanted to confirm with you I\u2019m planning on meeting with you in Hoskins after my class ends Friday morning.<\/p>\n

I have spent a bit of time assessing the status of DataUP.<\/p>\n

One thing to clarify in the morning is what DataUP tool Dr. Tenopir and Prof. Frame want us to look at.<\/p>\n

Per this recent (August 4) tweet,\u00a0https:\/\/twitter.com\/DataUpCDL\/status\/366978011515465729<\/a>, the Excel add-in is being phased out in favor of the OS agnostic Web app: https:\/\/redirect.dataup.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Therefore it seems likely any usability testing should center on the Web app.<\/p>\n

Upon confirming a focus on the DataUP Web app, I think it would be worthwhile to reach out to the research team that devised the DataUP Excel Add-in.<\/p>\n

We may find they have some ideas in mind for usability questions and perhaps did not have the time to address the questions or run usability studies on the tool.<\/p>\n

The researcher team\u2019s contact information is listed below:<\/p>\n
