The evaluation is carried out based on five usability dimensions, namely, efficiency, effectiveness, engagement, error tolerance and ease of learning. A single case study has been employed in this evaluation which included lecturers, students, and researchers from the Academy of Malay Studies, University of Malaya as participants. These participantsare directly involved in teaching, learning and researching Malay manuscripts. The user evaluation is carried out in two phases. The first phase involves a task-based approach where participants are given several tasks to perform while using the e-workspace. The second phase is a focus group discussion to elicit the participants’ feedback on the perceived usefulness of the eworkspace after they have completed the given tasks. System evaluation of the Malay Manuscript eworkspace in serving the manuscript community has been reflected by the positive feedback from the 19 participants. The findings signify a positive reaction from participants towards the eworkspace.
