D02: Creating a culture of user-centered decision making: A case study
Understanding the users’ experience with a system may be crucial to a project’s success, but how do you convey this to stakeholders and development partners? In this session, we will discuss how we are building a culture of user-centered decision making by integrating user experience methodologies into the design and development of information retrieval systems at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. We will also discuss how we adapted our approach to meet institutional and budgetary challenges.

D05: A Wild Ride from Start to Finish: Mapping the Graduate Research Experience
With the goal of redesigning our existing services to improve the student research experience, we interviewed 23 graduate students about the barriers, facilitators and “roller coaster” of emotions they experienced while working on a literature review assignment, and then used the thematic analysis of those interviews to create a student experience map to inform our service design choices and show students when and how they can utilize library support for their research projects.

D04: Assessing UX Maturity and Advocating for UX Growth: Tools, Strategies, and Readings for Advancing your UX Practice
Understanding the current state of your UX practice is critical for assessing, advocating for, and ultimately advancing UX work within your organization. This session combines findings from a literature review on assessing UX initiatives’ impact/success with a profession-wide survey of North American academic libraries about UX maturity at their organizations. These findings illustrate the successes and challenges of growing UX maturity and demonstrating impact.

D09: Onboarding Colleagues and Students to UX
We'll explore principles, tools, and objectives in building onboarding programs for (1) user experience as a collaborative service for current and new colleagues, and (2) for students as UX researchers on our team. For colleagues, an onboarding/orientation provides an opportunity to grow a culture of UX and partnerships. For student interns, we examine what knowledge of UX and libraries is essential to maximize the time available and create a lasting experience.

D10: UX is Negotiation: Getting to Yes (One Sprint at a Time)
Our Applications Development & Support department in the Ohio State University Libraries has practiced Agile methodology for some time. In the last two years, they have begun to gradually incorporate user experience research and design as an influence on their sprint planning. This session will talk about the challenge of improving user experience as a negotiation between the project owner, the stakeholders, the users, the UX researcher, the front-end designer and the back-end developers.

Workshop: Coding and Clustering User Research Data
This workshop is available to in-person attendees in Austin only. It will not be viewable via the Online Conference. 

In this workshop, we will introduce open coding and clustering as a way to analyze qualitative research data, and participants will have the chance to practice using interview transcripts and open-ended survey responses. Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss issues and challenges in analyzing qualitative data.

Following this session, participants will be able to
  1. Code qualitative research data (e.g. interviews) as part of a team.
  2. Understand how individual perspectives affect interview coding.
  3. Create affinity maps to explore research data and present easy-to-communicate summaries of complex research.
  4. Cluster research data algorithmically.
  5. Understand the relative advantages and disadvantages of algorithmic vs. manual clustering.

D16: One person at a big table: how intentional space configuration can impact space usage
Different space configurations support different user behaviors. Shaping your space in a way that considers user needs as well as institutional goals sounds good in theory, but how do you do it in practice? At our library, we created a framework that defined the overarching visions we have for how we see our campus community interacting with the library and attributed specific behaviors that further describe those visions. Then we got testing.

D18: Participatory Paper Prototyping: Revealing User Needs and Priorities
Participatory design invites users to tell us about their needs and assumptions by giving them the tools to create their own solutions. In this presentation, I’ll share how we invited users to build paper prototypes as part of a user research strategy for an academic library project. The results revealed user goals and priorities that had not been fully explored in interviews. This user research approach is low-cost, low-tech, high-impact, and highly creative.

Scholarly communication is often conceptualized as a jargon-heavy grab-bag of emerging and existing services—a situation that can feel alienating for users.

D25-02: How to Create Survey Data Dashboards using Excel
UX researchers collect a large amount of qualitative survey data. This presentation offers a demo and detailed instructions for creating qualitative data dashboards using Microsoft Excel pivot tables and slicers. Excel dashboards facilitate data analysis and sharing results so colleagues can filter what is most relevant to their own departments. Excel is a convenient alternative for practitioners who cannot purchase additional software or commit the significant time required to create a sophisticated visualization.

Workshop: Go UX Yourself: Running a Space Design Workshop for Library Employees
This workshop is available to in-person attendees in Austin only. It will not be viewable via the Online Conference. 

While UX practice continues to grow in libraries, Employee Experience (EX) is often overlooked. This workshop will introduce practitioners to EX through a practice space redesign scenario in a fun, low-stakes, learning environment. Takeaways include a resource bank with descriptions of the activities and techniques used in the workshop and example outlines to craft and run your own EX space redesign workshop.

Following this session, participants will be able to:
  • understand the basics of Employee Experience research, how it relates to and differs from User Experience research.
  • utilize UX techniques to research and improve library employee experience.
  • facilitate a space design workshop for library employees.

D27 (Seminar): Build Custom Bootstrap Web Components Instantly with Bootstrapr
This seminar is available to in-person attendees in Austin only. It will not be viewable via the Online Conference. 

The Bootstrapr application is free and open source software which allows users of Third Party Applications built on the Bootstrap front-end framework (LibGuides, Sakai and other LMSs, etc.), to leverage standard bootstrap components to better structure their content, and provide a common interface style and clearer affordances. I will demonstrate how to use the various tools in Bootstrapr to build Bootstrap components to rapidly build a LibGuide—all without writing a single line of code.
