This email is an invitation to participate in the DLF Assessment Interest Group's (DLF AIG) working group on UX<https://wiki.diglib.org/Assessment:User/UX> in 2020. There is more information about the group below, but first, a few words about participating in DLF AIG. The only requirement for participation in a DLF AIG working group is a willingness to dig in and devote a small part of your time contributing to the tools, methods, and body of knowledge on digital library assessment. Attendance at the DLF forum is not a requirement for participation in any of the working groups. Additionally, if your institution is not a DLF member, you can still participate. UX in 2020 There is a need in the digital library UX community for high-impact UX practices that help grow UX maturity and assistant practitioners in advocating for more resources and buy-in from their institutions. * The overall purpose of the group is to support UX practitioners working in digital libraries. * Last year the group completed a survey that identified some needs of the UX community, and an assessment of UX success criteria. * You can read more about our group on our wiki<https://wiki.diglib.org/Assessment:User/UX>.
