Hi, 

 

My name is Nuzhah and I am a PhD student with the Information Retrieval
Group at Queen Mary University of London. My PhD research project is on
"Complex Information Seeking Tasks by Visually Impaired Users" and is being
supervised by Dr. Tassos Tombros and Dr. Tony Stockman.

 

We are carrying out a research study to investigate how visually impaired
users carry out information seeking tasks on the Web via web-based search
systems. We are particularly interested in the challenges they face while
using search interfaces with the help of assistive technology such as screen
readers.

 

We are looking for people to participate in this study. To make this as
convenient for you as possible, we are very happy to travel to your work, or
wherever is most convenient for you. 

 

If you would like to take part for an hour or so, please get in touch and
let me know when you would be able to participate.  If you do take part, we
may video record what is on the computer screen as you use it, we will not
be videoing yourself. All records will of course be stored in anonymised
form.  


Apologies for any cross posting.



 

Regards,

 

Nuzhah
