This presentation introduced administrators to five firsts in website strategy: mobile first, online first, money first, content first, and customers first.
Your library website visitors are having a user experience (UX) on your website right now. Do you know if it’s a good experience? Have you ever asked? And how can you improve it? This presentation will help make your website UX rock by providing easy-to-implement tips and tools to improve the experience your customers have while using your library’s website.
Customer Experience - On the Web, In the Library, In the CommunityDavid King
Customer experience is a strange brew of structure, community, and customers. Today’s savvy librarians need to focus on creating digital and physical experiences for customers so that they can quickly find information, make decisions, or participate. Librarians need to create experiences that visitors not only remember, but share with their friends. David Lee King breaks down the customer experience in a way that will help you remain an indispensable focal point of your community.
People don’t want just goods or services from a business anymore – they want unique, engaging experiences built around those goods and services. It’s the same for your library. Our patrons are looking for more than a book – they can find that at Walmart and via their favorite mobile device. They want a unique, engaging experience built around “your stuff.”

How can we make pages that work across all devices out there? The answer is responsive web design and these are some patterns (techniques) that are currently being used.
Is Joomla nog steeds de juiste keuze in 2017?ThemePartner
Op dit moment is Joomla! een van de meest toonaangevende Content Management Systemen op de markt. Dit is echter een snel ontwikkelende sector, waardoor deze status in theorie snel zou kunnen veranderen. Wat betekent dit voor websites die op dit moment gebouwd worden? Veel van die websites zullen namelijk nog een aantal jaren online staan, de meeste waarschijnlijk in de huidige vorm nog wel tot 2017 of daarna.
Hoe kunnen we weten of je op dat moment geen spijt hebt van je keuze voor het Joomla! CMS? In deze presentatie zal een realistische kijk gegeven worden op wat de structurele krachten en zwaktes van Joomla! zijn, en hoe je zelf kunt bijdragen deze te verbeteren.
UX planning is a journey on which you must contemplate four elements in order to achieve harmony. It is only then that you will have mastered Zen and the Art of UX Planning. This deck was created for the 2012 Midwest UX Conference in Columbus, OH.
How to Use Website Strategy to Rise to New HeightsDesignHammer
Through years of experience working with clients developing websites to overcome organizational obstacles we have refined a process for gathering critical information. By determining what the website needs to do, we can design a blueprint to build a website with measurable success.
Top Task Content & Design: A Strategy for Website Marketing SuccessBob Johnson, Ph.D.
Marketing priorities at most colleges and universities are driven by the need to maintain or increase enrollment in a challenging competitive environment. Success depends greatly on the experience potential students have on college and university websites, especially on their first visit. More than 20 percent of potential students who have a bad first experience will leave and never return.
Anyone who works on website content and design is an important part of the marketing team.
This 3 hour workshop is designed to boost the marketing strength of higher education websites by increasing the satisfaction of potential students when they visit your website in search of content important to them, often staying in the now proverbial “stealth” mode. Use of a “top tasks” approach is key to creating content and navigation that is easy to find, easy to review, and easy to understand. Before we can implement a “user first” approach to web design and content creation we have to know what tasks our visitors want to complete on our websites.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan 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.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
