Consultants Ex Nihilo have been commissioned to conduct an evaluation of the MDS website, to gain feedback from visitors on their user experiences, and document any areas which may benefit from improvements in the future.

We are particularly interested to understand the views of researchers and academics, who are potential consumers of data from MDS as part of conducting research. We are seeking feedback from the perspective of general navigation and exploration of the site, and from how easy it is to search through data items and export data.

On Wednesday 19 March, 11.00am – 3.30pm, we will be running an in person workshop with the following aims:

  • Offer the opportunity for attendees to learn more about what MDS is
  • Explain what MDS offers to museums and researchers
  • Take the opportunity to seek feedback during this session about MDS and how it couple be improved in the future

Lunch and refreshments provided and the event will take place in Room 1.01 – Sir Bob Burgess Building, University of Leicester, Leicester, LE2 6BF.

If you have any questions do get in touch – hello@exnihiloconsulting.co.uk.
