Abstract

In order to identify the possible problems of usability and information architecture of the institutional repositories, the case study of the Institutional Repository of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte was chosen. As research hypothesis, it was established that the information architecture of the UFRN Institutional Repository interface, version 1.8.1, disadvantage usability in performing the tasks by system user groups. Data collection was carried out by applying the techniques of Cooperative Evaluation and Usability Testing of the UFRN/IR system. Problems of usability and information architecture were found in the Institutional Repository from the results obtained. The redesign of the UFRN Institutional Repository interface on areas related to the tasks presented in the research, and considering the aspects of usability and information architecture, mentioned above, we will contribute to access and visibility of information improvement.
