Dear Colleagues, 


The University of Oregon Libraries and University of Oregon Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art are seeking librarians, teaching faculty, students, museum education staff, museum and archive curators, humanities, and social science researchers to participate in the interactive remote usability study. 
 
The purpose of this study is to enhance digital exhibits that were created as part of the initiative "Leveraging GLAM Assets in Research, Teaching, and Learning: Mellon Faculty Fellowships to Advance Library-Museum Collaboration".  

We hope that learning about how people engage and navigate digital exhibits will guide us to create better user interface interactions for digital exhibits hosted in partnership between the University of Oregon Libraries and the University of Oregon Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
