Moderator: Tina Budzise-Weaver
Fondren Library at Rice responded to the pandemic as many other libraries did, but not every academic library has a UX office with the same tasks and challenges as ours. This talk will cover a few of our efforts during the onset of the pandemic, including collaboration with our student advisory groups, standard UX testing, and the UX of library voter outreach.
