Librarians are users too summarizes how librarians at the Geological Society Library use content from various sources. The Geological Society Library is one of the oldest specialist Earth Science libraries in the world, containing over 300,000 volumes and 40,000 maps. Librarians use content for gathering usage statistics, cataloging, setting up new issue alerts, troubleshooting access issues, and checking prices. They need to easily check what full text access and pricing is available across the various resources they provide to their users.

We’re happy to announce the release of our new library user experience report! We worked with consultancy firm Digirati to talk in depth to academic library users across the globe about access to digital content. In this report we review the common challenges that users and researchers face and how they could be resolved. Our report will be of interest to librarians, publishers and service providers, network operators, governments and anyone working in the area of remote access to digital content.

Access interrupted? How changes in browser technology may impact researchers'...

OpenAthens

The major browsers are working on some pretty fundamental changes to how they support access and identity on the web. These changes are driven by concerns around user privacy and meant to stop the unsanctioned tracking of users across the web. However, some browser functionalities that are used to track users, for example third-party cookies or recognition of IP addresses, are also used to support access pathways on the scholarly web – which means that it very likely that current access solutions for scholarly resources on the web will be impacted and will need to adapt to a ‘new normal’ that is currently being designed. In this brief talk, Hylke Koers talks about these developments in general and zoom in on emerging new technologies that offer new opportunities to support federated authentication to scholarly resources in the future.

Dan Ramsden, creative director for user experience architecture, BBC. Dan shares three models for how he thinks about and practices user centred design. He begins by sharing how Jesse James Garrett’s ‘Elements of User Experience’ got him started in the world of UX. He then talks about the ‘double diamond’ model of divergent and convergent design thinking, as well as his own interpretation – Dan’s Fish. He shares stories of how the BBC put the audience at the heart of everything they do. And talks about the dangers of creating ‘unintentional information architecture’. Every design decision is an opportunity to make things easier or more difficult for your users. Dan shares his thinking on how we can be more intentional and user centred as we design and create software systems and the experiences they enable.

Todd Carpenter, executive director, National Information Standards Organization. The RA21 Project has been working for the past two years to improve the user experience of access to subscribed resources. After having reviewed some initial pilot technologies, RA21 is ready to roll out its recommended practice and launch an ongoing service to support user identity management and individual access to content. The project is now entering a new phase, in which interested parties will form a consortium to provide ongoing maintenance, outreach support, and governance to the effort moving forward. Todd discusses what RA21 has accomplished, demonstrate the service, and provide an update on what is next for RA21.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management. The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM). Speakers: Bob Boule Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan Dix

Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024 https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/ As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
