Guest post by Rose Buttimer, Electronic Resources Librarian & Chair of the UCC Library Seminar Team; advocate of Albert Einstein’s “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new”
I am delighted to announce that UCC Library is hosting a UX seminar on 15 November 2016. This seminar will delve into some UX topics with knowledgeable speakers, who will contribute both depth of experience and humour to the proceedings.
DonnaLanclos will open our seminar by exploring what engagement is for libraries and
how we reach people. This will be
followed by Jean Ricken who will reflect on connecting with users through
“invisible” services and giving a flavour of some UX successes. Matt Borg will restart the afternoon session
by deliberating on how users experience library services, along with looking at
some UX fails. Fiona Greig will complete
the programme with a thought-provoking outlook on future library staff roles,
from the ground level upwards.
This
event is free and bookings can be made from here. For any queries, please contact LibrarySeminar@ucc.ie
We look
forward to welcoming you to UCC Library.
