- Volunteer Search: Archive Usability Design Volunteer
Job: Archive Usability Design Volunteer

Works With: Accessibility, Design, & Technology committee.

Description: If you are the sort of person who goes to a website and says, "Really, that CANCEL button should be blue, and on the right," you're the sort of person we'd like to help us make the Archive of Our own easy and fun to use.

We're looking for people who are detail-oriented, patient, comfortable drawing and reading diagrams, and interested in thinking about site construction in terms of making it easy for the user. Some education or professional background doing information architecture/interaction design/UCD greatly appreciated, but the beginner willing to learn is welcome as well.

Estimated Time Involved: Volunteers will be asked to take on a specific part of the design, which can vary depending on the time commitment available. "Available a few hours per week long-term" is probably preferable to "available many hours a week short-term."

Other Information: Must be able to attend online chat meetings.
