SEPTEMBER
Friday, September 7th Geek the Guide: Innovative Ways to Use Research Guides Brentwood Public Library 1:30PM‐3:30PM Research guides are a common feature of many library websites. Also known as subject guides, pathfinders, or course guides, research guides are great ways to recommend specialized resources, deliver instructional content, and even promote upcoming events. In this lively program, we’ll discuss the perks and pitfalls of open‐source and commercial platforms, including LibGuides, for implementing research guides. We’ll also cover current trends and best practices for creating discoverable, engaging content within guides. Interactive break‐out discussions on key issues surrounding designing, marketing, and assessing the effectiveness of research guides will follow, allowing participants to exchange ideas. Walk away with ideas on how your library might use research guides to highlight and, more importantly, deliver the collections, programs, and services you provide to your users.

Friday, October 12th DIY Usability & User Experience: Is Your Library People Focused? Farmingdale Public Library 10:00AM‐12:00PM With budget cuts and staff shortages, libraries are asked to do more with less. As a result, libraries are increasingly using technology, self‐service models and other trends to make services and processes more efficient. What tends to be overlooked is how these implementations affect the overall library experience for patrons and staff. Is it really more efficient and efficiency at what cost? Whether your library is looking to renovate, relocate, rebrand, or introduce a new service/program, people‐centered design is crucial to the process.
In this DIY‐style workshop, you will learn how to use people‐centered design methods at your library to help you plan, coordinate, assess and evaluate your services and processes to ensure that they are cost‐ and time‐efficient. While you may not have the staff, time, or funding to do a full‐fledged library usability and user experience study; together, participants will experience how to use these methods to make small changes for a big impact. Filled with examples, case studies, and activities, participants will leave this workshop with the framework and tools for completing their own DIY usability study. Who should attend: Librarians and library staff who are seeking to make improvements and changes to their library on a small budget. Presenters: Lisa Chow and Sandra Sajonas FEE: $30 Member; $95 Nonmember; $25 Retired Member; $5 CEU Certificate (additional)
