D03 (Seminar): Access Denied: Improving Library Digital Accessibility
This seminar is available to in-person attendees in Austin only. It will not be viewable via the Online Conference. 

Yes, we all know that accessibility is important. No one would argue that, but are you writing accessible Word documents and reference guides? Are you creating accessible tutorials? This seminar will walk you through the top accessibility mistakes we make as creators and how to fix them. I will also demonstrate a few free tools to check for accessibility issues. You will leave this seminar feeling confident in your abilities to implement accessibility best practices.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops to this session for hands on practice.

D15-01: Affordable, Systematic Space Assessment
Assessing library space from the perspective of users’ rapidly changing needs and preferences is challenging in that it requires frequent collection of new sets of data to comprehensively capture their experiences, which can involve extensive expenditures of time and energy. This pilot study proposes four different types of space assessment projects that can efficiently capture comprehensive experiential data while meeting users’ rapidly changing needs and preferences.

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.

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.

D21-01: Usability Testing Toolkit: Methods, Processes, and Best Practices
User experience professionals and groups that focus on usability tend to have their own methods and practices for performing a usability test. The Usability Working Group at Cornell University Library has worked to translate our list of methods into a format that can be shared and utilized by ourselves and others. We want to explain a few of the methods that we use frequently and the specific additions to this toolkit that make it unique.

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.

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.
