Building Safety Nets into the Online Library: A Workshop

Description

Following the session, “Building Safety Nets into the Online Library,” stay to participate in a 90 minute follow-up workshop. Here you’ll be introduced to a simple, yet powerful method for uncovering fail points called the cognitive walk-through. You’ll take on specific user personas and analyze a library website through that lens, uncovering the points where users stumble and often give up on the library.

Next you’ll begin to design "safety nets" or support structures at those fail points that gently catch the users and help them be more successful researchers. You’ll leave with some ideas that you could start implementing immediately.
