چکیده
Digital Libraries are evolving rapidly with the usage of Internet and WWW technologies. Since the digital libraries are running on the Internet and the users are from various psychological, educational and social backgrounds, the usage of digital libraries is varying from user to user which entail the need of best user interface. In order to design usable and useful interactive systems, designers need to ensure that good design features are incorporated into the systems, taking into consideration end-users' needs, experience and cultural backgrounds [1]. Hence, this paper presents the users’ study in various aspects and identifies various challenges for designing the user interface system for university digital libraries for its effective implementation.
