     Our UX/UI person has done some card-based IA testing using the methodology outlined here:  http://boxesandarrows.com/card-based-classification-evaluation/

Mark the intersection of each scenario and the classification item selected by the participant. I usually use capital letters for first choices and ...

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Methods to test new site IA?

Apologies for cross-listing...

I need some advice on user testing methods.  I've embarked on a project to
redo our library website's information architecture.  I've sketched out a
new IA for the site which I want to test with users.  Initially I thought
that I would just build out the new IA on our development server, then do
usability testing with users on the dev site.  Now I'm realizing that will
be a lot of work, and making any changes once its built will also take
time.  Is there a middle ground?  Are there good ways to do some user
testing with paper prototypes?  I want to get feedback on whether my
categories and labels are intuitive and meaningful.
