Library UX
- 2. What is UX? User experience is how someone feels when using a product or service. http://www.flickr.com/photos/36993742@N00/4773946797/
- 3. Is it the same as usability?
- 9. What do you think your users want? http://www.flickr.com/photos/32595872@N02/4195880838/
- 11. What are they actually doing? http://www.flickr.com/photos/55046645@N00/314989744/
- 13. Principle of Least Effort [Zipf's Law] In information seeking: 0Most convenient, least exacting method 0Stop as soon as acceptable results achieved 0Use tools that are most familiar, easiest to use
- 15. Signs, signs, ev erywhere are signs! http://www.flickr.com/photos/77144005@N00/24986220/
- 23. How would you describe your library’s signage? http://www.flickr.com/photos/77476789@N00/2201907500/

- 28. Shelves just inside the door circulate 24% more books than shelves 15 feet inside the door. (98) (74) Shaw, 1938
- 29. Responsive Web Design 0 One design, multiple platforms
- 32. Personas 0 Personas are representative of larger groups with detailed attributes to enable a focused approach to usability and design. 0 Personas are representatives, defined with “significant rigor and precision”, and built on a combination of assumptive reasoning and data, which allows for focusing requirements.

Editor's Notes
- Usability vs. UXSusan’s eBook tech support.
- Rick Anderson’s column in the June 1 LJ discusses “The Problem of Surplus Value” and how libraries should make sure that what they are offering is what their users want and need—not only in terms of different services, but in terms of “depth” of service.

- Where’s the browse shelf?
- 6 Most Common Objectives of Sign Systems:Orientation - A user entering the library or moving from one area to another needs to identify and select relevant resources and establish their general locations within the building.Direction - The user needs to make correct wayfinding decisions as he/she moves along the route from starting point to destination.Identification - The user (who may not be able to distinguish one library resource, tool, or service point from another based on appearance alone) needs to recognize his/her destination upon arrival.Instruction - The user, having arrived at a particular resource, needs to know what to expect from it and how to use it effectively.Regulation - The user needs to know what behavior is forbidden, permitted, or required in a particular area or situation.Current Awareness - The user needs to know about temporary conditions or changes in the library that might affect his/her tasks, as well as library hours, special events, and similar information.
