<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">Just how good (or how bad) are the Web-based interfaces
encountered by library users these days? Having invested in the creation of
significant digital collections, how can libraries enhance usage of those
collections? How do scholars and students (especially those working remotely)
expect to engage with this content online? What should the interfaces be
designed to support? Is there a baseline that has been established? What room
exists for innovation in the user experience (UX) and user interface (UI)?<span></span></p>

and Opportunities in Customizing Library Repository User Interfaces<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri"><b>Abstract:</b><span> </span>This presentation will dive into the ongoing
challenges that academic libraries often face when improving the user
experiences of out-of-the-box and open source repositories. Fueling the
challenges are the ambiguity and fast-changing nature within the field of
digital scholarship and the constant flux of technology platforms and tools.
Fortunately, many libraries are paying more attention to users’ motivations and
responding by designing user interfaces that support particular formats and
contexts. We’ll explore emerging opportunities with repositories in looking at
how far libraries should go in providing customizations to balance stakeholder
and user needs, and how to plan for users’ ever-shifting expectations.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri"><b>Abstract:</b><span> </span>This presentation will discuss the entire
lifecycle of scholarship from a digital perspective through the lens of an
institutional repository (IR). The focus will be on digital curation and
creation of digital resources and scholarship by means of an IR using automated
workflows, along with publishing content in DigitalGeorgetown (our multi-campus
IR and digital collections platform) and integration with our vendor subscribed
e-resources.<span> </span>We’ll discuss open source
tools that have been deployed in the creation of packages for upload and will
also touch on our streaming services integration for audio and video
files.<span> </span>The presentation will then delve
into integration with and into other processes: ORCID, Sherpa-Romeo, embargos
and such. The automated integration with workflows for bagging into APTrust
(digital preservation repository), will also be shared. Access and discovery
which has been enhanced using <a href="http://schema.org">schema.org</a> microtags and integration into
discovery platforms such as Summon, which increases the responsiveness in
web-scale discovery.<span></span></p>

Interfaces, So Little Time: The User Experience of Ebooks in an Academic
Context<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri"><b>Abstract:</b><span> </span>This talk provides an overview of some recent
research into user experience of ebooks in an academic context. In particular,
it highlights challenges users face in the context of multiplying interfaces
for electronic reading. Users do not necessarily see ebooks as more convenient
if platforms fail to fulfill some minimal expectations. However, good platforms
for delivery of ebooks can minimize the distance between "using" and
"reading" ebooks observed in some research.<span></span></p>
