Greetings!

Are you or a colleague in need of a user experience starter or refresher?
Want more UX allies in your organization? Check out our preconference at
the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago!

RUSA’s Emerging Technologies Section (ETS) is hosting *“We Are All User
Experience Librarians: Creating Change from the Trenches” *on Friday, June
23 from 9am-noon. Tickets can be purchased at http://2017.alaannual.org/t
icketed-events#RUSA.

This event will focus on user testing and experience using discussion,
presentations, and interactive exercises. The presenters will offer
strategies and tools from throughout the life cycle of a user experience
design project, and will provide an entertaining look at pitfalls to avoid
and lessons learned. Unlike other sessions about UX design, the workshop
will focus on providing attendees with skills and techniques they can apply
at their home institutions with little expense or pre-planning.

*Speakers: *Pete Coco, Web Services Librarian, Boston Public Library;
Deirdre Costello, User Experience Researcher, EBSCO Information Services;
Heidi Steiner Burkhardt, User Experience Specialist, University of Michigan
Library; Carrie Moran, User Engagement Librarian, University of Central
Florida.

Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions about the
program.

Take care,
Heidi
