图书馆用户经常面临的困难，通过图书馆复杂的导航，以找到他们所寻求的不同格式的资源和服务。移动的技术的迅速采用使得提高寻路过程的效率和有效性成为可能。将用户的兴趣和偏好纳入寻路应用程序的设计过程是开发图书馆室内导航工具的一项重要任务。通过采用混合研究方法和创新的数据收集技术（例如，记录用户在智能手机上的交互行为），对16个智能手机用户与高校图书馆网站上的寻路应用程序的交互行为进行了研究，发现了寻路应用程序中存在的一系列重要的可用性问题，发现了用户偏好的交互特征，并提出了新的寻路应用程序的标记和导航系统。
Library users frequently confront difficulties in navigating through the library complex to find different formats of resources and services they seek. The rapid adoption of mobile technology made it possible to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a wayfinding process. Incorporating users’ interests and preferences into the design procedure of a wayfinding application is an imperative task for developing library indoor navigation tools. With applying mixed research methods and innovative data collection technique (e.g., recording users’ interactive behavior on smartphone) to examine sixteen (16) smartphone users’ interaction with a wayfinding application on an academic library website, the authors identified a series of important usability problems existing in a wayfinding application, discovered users preferred interactive features, and proposed new labeling and navigation systems of such a kind of wayfinding application.
