- The conception, planning and implementation of digital libraries demand innumerable studies in order to verify and guarantee their adequacy to the users’ necessities. This research, therefore, intends present the results of the usability analyzes of the InfoHab digital library, having as theoretical base the Constructivist model of user study proposed by Carol Kuhlthau and the criteria of usability established by Jacob Nielsen. In order to do so, a qualitative study with six users with different levels of academic formation and experience in the use of recovery systems was developed. Data was collected through personal interviews, prototype of the library, direct observation, and image and sound records. The aspects identified in the collected data are discussed and the results evidence some information architecture problems in organization, labeling, navigation and search systems of the digital library.
