Hello, all. This is perhaps a bit off-topic, but I was wondering how many of you have a dedicated usability person as part of your development team. Right now, we have a sort of ad hoc Usability Team, and I'd like to make a pitch for hiring someone who will have the time and inclination to manage this effort more effectively. Anything you'd care to share (on-list or off-) would be welcome. I'm especially curious about whether or not this is a full-time responsibility for someone in your organization or if it's shared with another job function; if you find this position is working out well or you wish you'd spent the money on more robots instead; where this person resides in your org chart; what sort of qualifications you looked for when hiring; etc. Thanks, Andrew -- Andrew Darby Head, Web & Emerging Technologies University of Miami Libraries
