Enhancing E-Library and Research Management Systems: User Interface and User Experience Design for Improved Student Interaction

The evolution of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has significantly influenced digital academic tools, particularly E-Libraries and research platforms, where design and usability directly affect learning and productivity. However, many students—including those in BSIT programs—struggle with unintuitive interfaces, poor functionality, and disengaging features, hindering their research efficiency. Enhancing both user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design is crucial to fostering seamless interaction, improving accessibility, and supporting academic workflows. Addressing these challenges can lead to more effective digital systems that better serve educational needs.
