Keynote Speaker: Suzanne Chapman, User Experience Librarian at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The IOLUG Program Committee is inviting proposals around the theme of improving user experience. What strategies and/or tools do you use to make library resources, webpages, spaces, marketing materials, etc. more user-friendly? What has proven successful for your organization? What problems surrounding user experience have you encountered, and what solutions have you devised? What best practices or recent research can you share about user experience?

We encourage presentations that are practical, hands-on, and include take-awayable tools, techniques, and/or strategies that librarians can implement to improve their resources and services for students, patrons, faculty, etc.


*         Analytics (perhaps on a shoestring budget?)

*         COUNTER/SUSHI improvements

*         Branding and marketing

*         Using data to make decisions in online and/or physical libraries

*         Human-centered design

*         Improving digital services and resources

*         Exploring/seeking feedback on user experiences

*         Attitudinal and behavioral user research - ethnographic studies

*         Observation and storytelling - participant observation, usability

*         Small scale UX projects

*         Visual ethnography - photo studies, cognitive mapping, etc.

*         Needs assessments

Please specify in your proposal whether users will be expected to bring their own devices, or if you will need the use of a computer lab.

Submit your proposal today!<http://www.iolug.org/call-for-proposals-spring-2016-diy-ux-innovate-create-design/>
