ENY/ACRL invites presenters for Lightning Round and Poster Sessions at its Spring Conference which will be held Monday, May 20, 2013, at the University at Albany’s downtown campus in Albany, NY. This meeting will focus on user experience (UX) and libraries, including learning about UX methodology and exploring how it can be incorporated into the design of library services in order to improve patron satisfaction.
* Presentations are limited to 5 minutes!! Share a quick overview of your ideas, experience, and programs related to any and all forms of designing effective user experiences: for collections, public services, internal work, IT, cataloging, outreach, metrics, what works, what doesn’t, etc.
Poster sessions are an excellent opportunity to share your ideas, research findings, projects, solutions to problems, or best practices.
