If you're feeling gutsy, try this with your users. If you're not ready for that, think of some other places you could map (or just stick with your library) and try it out with colleagues.
Time commitment:
3 minutes
Ingredients:
3 different colored pens
Paper
Prompt for users:
- Have three minutes? Draw me a map of the library.
- Every sixty seconds, switch to a different colored pen (for instance: use red for one minute, then green for one minute, then black for the last minute).
Note: Try to keep this consistent for everybody who draws a map. This way, you can color-code immediate ideas and last-minute thoughts.
