Editor's Notes
- Good morning everyone Douglas Adams – total perspective vortex
- People not aware of RA21? Someone not too closely involved – what is this about?
- It’s a thing A fantastic, collaborative initiative Reaching for the stars – it may be hit the moon Progress not perfection
- Engage with RA21 – come to events like this Collaborate – understand the end user experience from many perspectives - UX Books/SAML/Wayfinder How many? Librarians? Publishers? Technology or platform vendors?
- personas
- Professional publishing: Better decisions, better outcomes Eduserv: a not for profit delivering technology services for public good

- In 2016, Google’s CEO has announced that 20% of all searches on Android devices and Google app were carried out by voide. Comscore predicts 50% of all searches will be voice searches by 2020.
- There is a lot of buzz around UCD, Design Thinking and UX. And there is a good reason for that. Being user centred transforms organisations, the way they work and the type of services they deliver.
- This is the design process we use at OpenAthens: We start with Discovery where we are validating the challenge with user research, then we follow up with interpretation of the discovery findings, which helps us to define the challenge. Only after we are confident we understand the problem we are faced with we explore ideas of how to solve the challenge. Each idea is then tested with users during the experimentation, before ideas are passed on to the development team for implementation. Once the new product or service is live we continue monitoring performance, making sure we identify any usability issues or change in user’s preferences as early as possible.
- Identity providers: Education and research, healthcare, commercial (engineering, pharma, petrochemical), government, charity Service providers: Academic publishers, online news, data and analytics, other subscription services provided via a web browser
- Widespread understanding – our experience of corporate subs access with TandF. The path of least resistance is not the answer
- When in doubt go back to your user. Focus on them and build empathy. There are a number of ways to do that but our favourite method is Guerrilla UX research.
