User Experience in Special Libraries: What is it? How do I assess it? Lansing, MI. Onsite or online.
Discussion: What does user experience mean for libraries, and why should libraries care about it? What are the current user experience trends in libraries, and how do we assess our library to make sure our patrons are actually receiving a good user experience from us? This program is intended for librarians interested in learning more about what user experience means for libraries, and how to start assessing how their library’s user experience measures up. Particular attention will be paid to websites and making them more appealing to our users.
