This paper reports the results of an action research<br />

study to determine usability of a LIS web site. The<br />

study, which included students as<br />

researcher-participants is informed by the<br />

constructivist R2D2 instructional design model. The<br />

principles of the R2D2 model support the<br />

assumptions of action research by empowering<br />

students with roles in the design <strong>and</strong> development<br />

process. Results will be used to improve the<br />

quality <strong>and</strong> usability of the department web site<br />

<strong>and</strong> its related resources.<br />

Speakers: Kathy Rosa, Chicago State University,<br />

Assistant Professor
