William Hicks, Assistant Dean for Digital Libraries at UNT Libraries, will bring his portable testing lab to the Designing for Digital Conference for you to test you websites. You will have access to a half-dozen tablets and phones of varying make/OS, Google Glass, littleBits prototyping library.
Andrew Darby, Head of Web & Application Development at the University of Miami Libraries, will lead a brainstorming session and discussion on the creation of an online usability clearinghouse for libraries. A lot of library website UX blocks are practically universal (search boxes, catalogs, news carousels, terminology, etc.), and yet we separately test them over and over. A clearinghouse site would allow one to search thematically (or geographically) and also make the data available for meta analysis. Andrew will help us start the conversation to determine feasibility and possible next steps.
