Upcoming Chapter Meetings
Tuesday, May 22, 5:30pm (Indesign, Indianapolis) – User Experience Design and Research for Academic Libraries
Tao Zhang, PhD, Digital User Experience Specialist with Purdue University Libraries will present on two of his projects: redesign of the library website and usability evaluation of an online research and collaboration platform for human-animal bond researchers (http://habricentral.org).
The presentation will address the challenges of the library website redesign and implementing a user-centered design process to address those challenges. This includes design issues that may be unique to academic libraries including user segmentation, content, and site structure as well as lessons learned from a Drupal-based website implementation. Also included will be a review of usability evaluation methodology, results, and how important system design concerns were revealed by observing user behavior and communicating with stakeholders.
Anyone with an interest in usability is welcome to attend. There is no charge for attending this meeting.
Meet-and-greet time will be 5:30pm-6:00pm with pizza and soft drinks. The presentation will start at 6:00pm.
Note: The front door will be unlocked until 6:00pm. If you arrive after 6:00pm, please ring the doorbell.
