10. The Digital User Experience (DUX) department sets strategic priorities for the unified
web presence of the IU Bloomington Libraries and related online services. We
proactively seek opportunities to collaboratively deliver transformative
experiences that facilitate discovery and strengthen scholarship at Indiana University.
We strive to exceed expectations for internal and external constituencies as we develop,
design, deliver, and support innovative services, systems, and tools. We
embrace a user-centered approach, identifying and anticipating user needs
through data analysis, usability testing, and assessment. We subscribe to a philosophy
of continuous improvement achieved through an iterative design process to
selectively implement existing and emerging technologies.
In partnership with library and campus units, DUX works to enhance end-user
success and to fulfill our shared mission to support the teaching, learning and
research of the University community.
In conjunction with our mission, we will use these guiding principles to strategically
prioritize projects:
Dynamic (data, services) | Experimental (pioneering, innovative)
Collaborative | Transparent (seamless, open) | Impact

Courtney Greene, Head of Digital User Experience (DUX) at Indiana University Bloomington Libraries, will begin the forum by discussing what happens when user experience meets virtual reference. She will argue that libraries are in the user experience business - that our users' needs are at the forefront of everything we do. Courtney will describe a recent reorganization that has led DUX to take on a more active role in supporting and managing virtual reference tools at IUB Libraries - IM via LibraryH3lp, text reference via Google Voice, and a newly re-designed mobile site. She will share how she and her team have worked to balance the advantages of centralized management of VR services (for over a dozen service points across campus!) with the importance of staying closely connected to librarians in the field, on the ground and at the desk. She will also discuss how the mobile redesign increased access to research apps and how users have responded to the changes.

Good news: the hard part is already done. It’s (mostly) automagical!Stats give you the heebiejeebies?Tell your story.Once you know the what/why, the how is much easier.A little setup at the beginning & machines can do quite a lot.Don’t sweat it. A few basic measures you can explain & you’re set.Illustrate those numbers with real life people & examples.A tidy, professional report will benefit you & your superiors.Make it pretty.
