This webinar presentation introduces participants to User Experience (UX) design, a mix of user-centred design, usability, and user friendliness. UX design can be applied to any organization, service, and product where people interact with. UX design represents the mix of desirability, usability, utility, and brand experience. When applied to libraries, UX design relates to the feelings and perceptions our users have when they engage with the physical and virtual touchpoints of the library. This presentation will discuss UX basics, as it relates to web site design, library space design, signage and wayfinding, and elements of excellent public service. Lastly, the presenter will discuss various UX research techniques that you can use to study your library users.
