An excellent field guide by my colleague @AdHocTeam on why research matters and how it can (and should) inform strategic decision making.

Maybe it's a good sign when your resource gets so much traffic it goes down? The UX Cookbook is awesome, and hopefully will be back up again soon.

So rewarding to hear UX student Megan Straffon share her professional journey. She's been with @uazlibraries for 2 years now, and is well on her way to a career in UX!

Benefit of in-person card sorting: participants can annotate with stickers! To indicate priorities and emotions.

It was a joy participating in this episode of the @7minProdSeries. I share lessons I've learned, the biggest UX research mistake I've made, the best advice I've received, what's working well in my work right now, and some "common wisdom" I disagree with.

My UX in Libraries Yearbook arrived! Packed with brilliant content about UX culture and transformation. Excited to dive in and read about the sessions I didn't get to attend at last year's @UXLibs, while also revisiting some of my faves.

If you work in an academic library that lends out a lot of tech, you might struggle to organize it on your website. Nina Conrad wrote an article on how they reorganized at @uazlibraries, where they lend out a TON of stuff. Great work:
