Abstract

The Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) method can effectively analyze the relationship between influencing factors through matrix operations and present the interaction path and hierarchical structure in the form of visual directed graphs. This paper used the ISM method to study the website information architecture of Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province. The research shown that the website presented resources and service intuitively in a flat information architecture with short search path of information, and provided differentiated service through a clear authority division mechanism. This website information architecture was helpful to optimize the navigation structure, reduce users' cognitive load, enhance the website browsing rate and improve the service efficiency. This paper explored the application of the ISM method in the field of library website design, and expanded the application scope of the ISM method in complex system research. In addition, it also provided decision-making basis for user experience design of library websites.
