Theme: "What Do Users Want: A Discussion"
Speaker: Andrew Schocket, director, American Culture Studies, assoc. professor of history and American culture studies, Bowling Green State University.
Schocket will report on results gathered from the Scholars' Dashboard project--a series of three workshops, teaming humanities scholars, librarians, and technologists in innovative application development to optimize use of humanities collections. The workshop produced technical requirements for a Scholars' Dashboard which might be considered for any online digital humanities repository. http://www.scholarsdashboard.org/

The second half of the presentation session will allow attendees to discuss their own experiences in reaching out to user communities to solicit feedback, how that data has been used to guide digital programs, and what opportunities remain to learn more about how we can better serve our users.
