RX for Discovery

Abstract

Libraries and publishers are paying increasing attention to the information experiences of today’s emerging scholars – but what is the underlying value in understanding the researcher experience? What have we learned about how readers discover the content we disseminate? What impacts do these lessons have on the resources and services we provide? Should we redesign websites after just one round of user testing? What does user-centered decision making mean for how we enable discoverability of academic content? This in-booth event will feature librarians who have conducted researcher experience studies and made changes to their libraries based on their findings.
