We used this at the beginning of our workshop yesterday to learn how others have used UX. I thought I'd add it here to see if anyone else in #LILAC25 wants to contribute. Share details with others if you want to follow up with a chat. There's some amazing work going on! tiny.cc/z6qg001
What does UX mean to you, and what are your experiences with it?

It was @suebecks.bsky.social who first got me started on social media waaay back. If I was still attending conferences I'd definitely be posting/skeeting and sharing with #AcademicSky
I have updated this infographic to include @bsky.app which provides tips on using social media before, during and after conferences.

I find it so interesting that we've had many different ways of finding the same thing: People find library interfaces/ systems really difficult to deal with. We've maybe had small improvements but no big leaps to user friendliness. #LILAC25

Is traditional information literacy like folk music, and AI literacy our moment to "go electric"? Under the hype about AI we still need a solid foundation of information literacy, but we may need to rethink some of our models and practices #lilac25

@jsecker.bsky.social claims Librarians are the most innovative teachers! I agree, we are always trying to prove we are worthy in the ‘teaching space,’ owning our teaching status and being as creative and innovative as we can. #LILAC25

A cautionary tale on innovating solutions without involving those affected. A £144,000 bridge in the Netherlands to help squirrels cross a busy road and avoid getting squished. One year on, one squirrel has used it. No one asked the squirrels! 😂 #Digifest25
