Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely:  presents the progressive application of methods used in usability assessment to a single system, Searchit, a meta-search engine used by some academic libraries in the UK to allow a search across a range of databases as ll as in the library's own collection. Students studying on a course in Information Retrieval Systems at Manchester Metropolitan University assessed its usability using methods of heuristic based inspections, cognitive walkthrough and in the collection of behavioural data from a user study. Both the value and the limitations of these methods are exemplified in the resulting demonstration of what can be learnt about the usability of Searchit, and what can be learnt about the information searching and the users of the system. The exercise accomplishes a two-fold assessment, of the system usability and of the activity of information search. The students acquire skills in employing usability methods and the opportunity to learn about the search activities the retrieval system is designed to support.
