  • Author / Creator
    Sellmer, Megan
  • Digital museums need to prioritize the information architecture found in their website design in order to optimize the structure and organization of their collection for users. This study used the usability inspection method, heuristic evaluation, to examine nine select digital museums. The heuristics were created during a content analysis study of general knowledge information architecture books. The information architecture principles found during the heuristic evaluation were compared and summarized in order to create a list of criteria that select digital museums can use to facilitate interoperability and consistency between websites.
