SXSW: The Psychology of Google Search - AppScout

SXSW: The Psychology of Google Search - AppScout

John Wiley, Google's User Experience Designer, points to why our students may be reluctant to use library databases:

"...a big part of a user's feeling toward a product stems from self esteem: When a UI is frustrating and users can't figure out how to use it correctly, they feel bad about themselves."

(UI- User Interface)

It doesn't get much simpler than that....
