D01: The Role of UX in Fostering a Place for Diversity
This panel will feature an interactive conversation with three UX practitioners with varying professional and cultural backgrounds. The three practitioners are also from three different types of libraries (medical, law, and undergraduate). By sharing our experiences we hope to encourage positive actions in UX library culture. We’re excited to share our insights, opinions and experiences.

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.

D08: Content strategy in LibGuides: Preliminary results of an international environmental scan
In 2019, librarians from the University of Toronto conducted a survey to determine how administrators of LibGuides systems at academic institutions managed the content creation, maintenance, and oversight of their LibGuides. This session will summarize the results of that survey and implications they may have for institutions that use LibGuides.

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.

D12: Environmental Scan: Findings from the University of Minnesota Libraries new Accessibility Steering Committee
In 2018, University Libraries launched the Accessibility Steering Committee, the first such initiative for our organization.  As part of our charge, the group completed an environmental scan. We will share our process as well as the results of the environmental scan, focusing on how we assessed our own libraries landscape, identified internal and external partners, surveyed peer institutions, and reviewed accessibility literature.  We will also discuss how this information has shaped our plans moving forward.

D14: Improving Library Tutorials: The Multimedia Design Principles
Librarians are creating more online tutorials and videos to teach information literacy skills. Whether designing instruction online or in-person, research-based instructional methods are required and learning Mayer’s Multimedia Design Principles is the best place to start. In this session, you will learn about memory and how to minimize cognitive overload using these 12 principles: multimedia, spatial contiguity, temporal contiguity, coherence, modality, redundancy, individual differences, signaling, pacing, concepts first, personalization, and human voice.

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.

D20: Holistic UX for services: or How I learned to stop worrying and love my robot overlord
In 2019, Temple University opened Charles Library, an evocative new building designed to connect users to service and technology-rich spaces. Shifting from a “book-centric” to “user-centric” environment, we loaded nearly 1.5 million volumes into an on-site automated storage & retrieval system. This presentation will discuss the development of a new request process as a case study, its impact on our UX practices, and the introduction of a holistic approach to user experience in the building.

D22: The User Journey Through Scholarly Communications: A Service Design Roadmap
Scholarly communication is often conceptualized as a jargon-heavy grab-bag of emerging and existing services—a situation that can feel alienating for users. Drawing from practices in service design, we will explore critical questions surrounding quality of experience for users and assumptions hidden under the broad umbrella of scholarly communication.

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.
