Rocket Surgery for the Recent MLS: Use the skills you already know to become a 
lean, mean UX machine

Jennie Rose Halperin - Safari, 
jennie.halpe...@gmail.commailto:jennie.halpe...@gmail.com

When first tasked with defining a qualitative research roadmap for Safari Books 
Online this year, I was shocked to discover how much I used the skills I 
learned in my MLS and experience as an reference librarian, from usability 
testing to proper survey protocol to distinguishing what users want versus what 
they're asking for. User experience and research is an obvious career choice 
for the recent MLIS graduate, and learning the basics (and jargon) of UX is 
often a book, podcast, or blog post away.

In my talk, I will discuss the resources I found most useful as I entered the 
field of user and design research as well as highlight common popular tools, 
patterns, and methods I use at an Agile company that can translate to libraries 
and other cultural heritage institutions.

I'll also emphasize how the common sense skills that librarians possess are an 
asset and a weapon in the field of usability and user research. Slaying 
usability dragons often takes little more than a love of documentation, 
excellent organizational skills, and a lot of confidence. Librarians are 
uniquely positioned to be UX leaders, and I hope that this talk can help those 
who want to transition their skills in the library world and beyond.

Card Sorting, One small step forward

Allison Deluca, Systems Librarian at Florida Atlantic University, 
adel...@fau.edumailto:adel...@fau.edu

Description: Card sorting may be the gateway user testing your library needs to 
begin a website redesign. Step-by-step, I will go over the process I used to 
begin my user testing experience at my own library, Florida Atlantic University.

User testing opened our eyes to a new way of looking at our own website and our 
patrons. While we suspected our patrons didn't understand our jargon, or how to 
navigate the website efficiently, we were floored with the results of each and 
every user test we conducted.

Deciding to conduct this user testing has been one small step forward for our 
library and I'm more than happy to share my experience so that others can 
benefit.

How do you talk to a building? How does it respond? Understanding in-building 
user needs and communications channels at NCSU's D.H. Hill Library - Andreas 
Kyriacos Orphanides - NCSU Libraries

At D.H. Hill Library, staff oversee a diverse set of spaces and services, as 
well as technology channels to communicate information to users. Many of these 
channels are exclusive to in-building interaction, such as e-boards, 
touchscreens, physical signage, and computer kiosks. Staff also manage 
universal channels (e.g., our website) that are used both in the building and 
remotely. Despite this communication infrastructure, we have never 
systematically evaluated how user needs manifest within the building, how the 
information we provide addresses these needs, and whether and how this 
information is received and understood. In short, how users talk to the 
building -- and how it responds. In 2014, we initiated a series of user studies 
to better understand in-building user needs and evaluate our communication 
channels and content. Our goal is to ensure that our user-facing communications 
provide an epistemological roadmap for successfully navigating the building's 
spaces and services. To date, we have completed 3 studies and have implemented 
changes based on their findings; we will launch several more studies in 
upcoming months. This presentation will share our strategies, methodologies, 
and outcomes for understanding in-building user needs and responding to them 
effectively.

You have to extract the MSI from the standard package, it is actually quite

Hi Bohyun,

How specifically are you deploying the msi package? I would imagine any 
organization large enough to have this problem to have Microsoft System Center 
Configuration Manager or some other kind of central software management.

Msi files are nothing more than a payload with a special script that is run 
when you double click on it (or deploy it via some management software). So you 
could roll your own by creating a simple powershell script that installs it for 
you, or even a super simple batch file.

Looking at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/silent-136552.html you 
simply need to add the /s for a silent install.
Perhaps you could provide more details as to the problem you are running into? 
More details is always better than less.

John

Hi all -

Oracle no longer offers .msi packages for JAVA which we have been using to 
deploy JAVA to library PCs on the network through Spec Ops. Anyone has a 
workaround? We have internally discussed download the msi package from Source 
Forge or pay for the 3rd party msi packaging service.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

Started the installer and then went to the SUN folder. Would that make a 
difference?

Riley, the msi from the JAVA 8.40 installer doesn't run and instead give us an

A problem required for this install to complete could not be run. Contract your 
support personnel or package vendor. We can open up with Orca but we don't

Bohyun,



Let me preface this with the fact that the only desktop admin I have done 
enterprise wide was during an internship in college. But, it looks like Specops 
just sits on top of Microsoft software products and extends it functionality. 
So, I would imagine if all you need to do is install the latest version of java 
is to download the jre.exe, and use Specops to run it on all your computers 
using the /s command line switch. Not having used Specops I don't know the 
specifics but I would also imagine you have someone there that handles 
interacting with it and should be able to create a new install using the 
jre.exe and /s.



Now if on the other hand you want all the extra functionality that is promised 
by oracle's MSI, you will have to do that yourself by writing some kind of 
script to handle the logic. If it is windows vista or newer you should have 
powershell installed. Powershell would provide lots of functionality in regards 
to handling the logic of what to remove, where, etc.



Hope this helps, good luck!

This is not my area, but the link below is the page my staff directed me to. We

There are 3rd party services but they are not free.

Msi files are nothing more than a payload with a special script that is run 
when you double click on it (or deploy it via some management software). So you 
could roll your own by creating a simple powershell script that installs it for 
you, or even a super simple batch file.

Looking at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/silent-136552.html you 
simply need to add the /s for a silent install.
Perhaps you could provide more details as to the problem you are running into? 
More details is always better than less.

Hi all -

Oracle no longer offers .msi packages for JAVA which we have been using to

Gary, I sent you an email reply to your question about this. 

But for others who may be interested in this position, this is the information 
from HR. 

Healthcaresource.com is the system that University of Maryland, Baltimore uses 
as the application tracking system. If an applicant doesn't want to include 
their SSN they can put in xxx-xx- and that should allow them to skip over 
the question for now. 

Also the university requires the final candidate to pass the background check 
before hiring.

Hope this helps,

[CODE4LIB] Non-library job boards to advertise a developer position widely

[Kim, Bohyun]

Hi all,

Which non-library job boards would be good to advertise a web developer job 
posting widely? I only have usual suspects (Indeed.com, Monster.com, 
Glassdoor.com, 
Engieerjobs.com(http:/www.engineerjobs.com/jobs/software-engineering/%20), 
SimplyHired.com) and library listservs so far. So I am hoping to catch some job 
boards frequented by software developers.

Any Suggestions? (Local job boards in Maryland, D.C, Virginia would be also 
super helpful; although the position allows remote work so I would like to 
advertise as widely as we can.)

Thank you!
Bohyun

Re: [CODE4LIB] Library community web standards (was: LibGuides v2 - Templates and Nav)

[Kim, Bohyun]

Josh, Brad, and Lisa,

The LITA UX IG can provide ALA Connect for use. Check here: 
http://connect.ala.org/node/222849.You can create an account and use it whether 
you are a member of ALA/LITA or not. (If you are a member, do join the UX IG 
though. :) ALA Connect is just a Drupal system so it can offer things that 
Drupal does - chat room, postings, discussion forum, holding docs, voting, etc. 

The point that Sean and Shaun made is a good one. The content being housed in 
ALA Connect won't necessarily command the authority. Only the actual quality of 
the document will do that. And if you want to house the content in easily 
editable wiki, I think Code4Lib Wiki may be better suited for that. 
http://wiki.code4lib.org/Main_Page 

But you are right that ALA will have a much wider reach to those who will 
benefit from this. (Some ALA divisions like ACRL actually publishes standards; 
LITA hasn't done that in the past nor Code4Lib. But it is not impossible to do 
so.) Whichever route you go, you are welcome to leverage LITA UX as your 
discussion forum and use other tools there as well. IMHO, as long as the final 
content is cross-linked, we will all benefit.  

Cheers,
~Bohyun

Code4Lib is certainly respected among techy librarians, but I would bet that 
90% of my coworkers have never heard of it and would not care especially much 
about a document they publish. Not to disparage the group.
I think it's great. I just think that official, institutionalized channels are 
going to be most effective in this case.

I will be gone several days but will start throwing some things together soon.

Bohyun,

That sounds like it could be a great fit.

There would be two final products for what I have in mind:

1. A wiki site (ideally attached to an ALA-affiliated domain name) where we can 
collaborate and break all this down at the topic level. This is the source that 
would be used by the boots-on-the-ground librarians who are actually doing UX 
work and need practical information. It would be continually updated. The 
content would be curated, and there would be a very basic approval process for 
creating new editor accounts.

2. An annually-revised document (again, attached to an ALA-affiliated domain
name) that compiles everything from the wiki together in a format that can 
easily be presented to other librarians and administrators. In my experience, a 
bureaucratically approved document carries a lot more weight in libraries than 
a website, at least in academic libraries.

Topics that would be addressed:

1. Accessibility
2. Layout patterns
3. Typography and readability
4. Best practices for specific library web platforms 5. Recommendations for how 
libraries should implement the guidelines at a management level
(non-technical)

I've been following with interest, and I think some really important points are 
coming out here.

John, what you said about Tomcat vs. Jetty really resonated with me - maybe 
this is *yet another* place where we could split this thread, but I think for 
those of us straddling the gap between web design and web development, 
something like a reference guide for what the questions to ask even are, would 
be extremely helpful.

As you said, the answer to many many questions is, it depends, and knowledge 
of those topics comes with experience. However, maybe (and I volunteer to help 
with this project, inasmuch as I can) a sort of expansion of the Guide for the 
Perplexed would be really useful for those of us who are no longer total 
beginners, but are sort of struggling to level up?

That is, those of us with some experience of various projects could contribute 
anything public-share-able from our post mortem project conversations, relevant 
to each type of project? It's something I've been thinking about for some time, 
and I'm still not sure what an optimal structure would be, but I keep thinking 
it would be a really worthwhile project.

I will also say that everything I've found on alistapart and libux has been 
incredibly useful!

I think this was not clear in my original question (probably not a good idea to

We are looking for the library KB for staff only, so it will be not publicly

 Subject: [CODE4LIB] Open source alternative to LibAnswers as the library
 IT KB for library staff?

 Hi all

 Does anyone have a suggestion for the free open-source Q/A board + easily
 searchable KB comparable to LibAnswers? We already have LibAnswers for
 patrons. This is more for the library staff who submits a lot of similar or
 same questions to the Library IT help desk.

 It is an option to use the SharePoint Discussion Board but I am looking
 for an alternative since SP tends to get lukewarm responses from users in
 my experience.

 Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Enabling both local and remoteAuth (Shibboleth) in ILLiad?

[Kim, Bohyun]

Yup, we got this sorted out by duplicating the files in the root directory
with two dlls in each directory. Make sure to add a new line in ISAPI and
CGI Restrictions in IIS with the execute permission for the .dll file in
the new directory that will be protected by Shibboleth. I think the alias
should also work but we haven¹t tried it.

not) but you don't actually need to copy the directories, it's the same
files on disk.

I haven't tried this yet though. I agree the documentation is
unfortunately parsimonious.

[CODE4LIB] Hiring strategy for a library programmer with tight budget - thoughts?

[Kim, Bohyun]

I am in a situation in which a university has a set salary guideline for 
programmer position classifications and if I want to hire an entry-lever dev, 
the salary is too low to be competitive and if I want to hire a more 
experienced dev in a higher classification, the competitive salary amount 
exceeds what my library cannot afford. So as a compromise I am thinking about 
going the route of posting a half-time position in a higher classification so 
that the salary would be at least competitive. It will get full-time benefits 
on a pro-rated basis. But I am wondering if this strategy would be viable or 
not.

Also anyone has a experience in hiring a developer to telework completely from 
another state when you do not have previous experience working with her/him? 
This seems a bit risky strategy to me but I am wondering if it may attract more 
candidates particularly when the position is half time.

As a current/past/future library programmer or hiring manager in IT or both, if 
you have any thoughts, experience, or ideas, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Bohyun

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hiring strategy for a library programmer with tight budget - thoughts?

Hi all,

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who shared great thoughts and ideas 
about this either privately or on the list . I got so much out of the whole 
discussion and will be rewriting the job posting now. And learning about what 
it takes to get a campus parking spot on Berkeley never hurts. :) 

(When I said 'competitive' it's competitive by the library/higher ed standard. 
So it is a very real limiting factor to support and enhance library 
applications/services that we have to work around.) 

Thanks again!
Bohyun

 the kids are settled, especially if the work is interesting.  
 
 Some of my staff are developers, and I find no disadvantage to the fact that 
 we are all telecommuting.  We are in touch constantly via skype and other 
 channels, have video calls regularly, and feel very much a team.  A shared 
 project management system like Asana can help too.  
 
 Of course, it may not work with all developers -- you need to be sure you are 
 hiring someone who is a good communicator, self-motivated, and knows what 
 s/he is doing.  Another caveat is that it can be harder if you have only one 
 telecommuting employee and the rest of the team is together.  When several 
 people are meeting in a room and one is on a speakerphone or something, that 
 doesn't work too well.   But you can do things to ameliorate that.  
 
 Bottom line is if you have good people, it doesn't matter where they work.

Re: [CODE4LIB] online payment system for libraries?

[Kim, Bohyun]

Thanks everyone for more online payment system/service options!

Mark, thanks for mentioning about the PCI/DSS compliance in relation to
this. This is really good to know. Stripe looks promising to me. Our
library is looking into removing the cash register at the circ desk and
collect all library fines in addition to services charges (such as ILL
fees for corporate members or Conference room charges for non-campus
users). So we need a solution that will let us customize the fee
categories, amounts, etc. with the least effort on us to set it up.

What did you mean by a pre-packaged solution??

Thanks!

 Donations and fines payments currently go through Innovative

Re: [CODE4LIB] online payment system for libraries?

[Kim, Bohyun]

Hi Mark,

OIC. I understand now. We are not using a CMS right now but actually have
been asked to move our library website into Terminal 4 CMS selected by the
university media office by the end of this October. (Yup, another
proprietary CMS one hears about first time.) So that may be a concern in
this case. I see that Stripe has a plugin for WP and we have several WP
sites so that may be a fast option for us as well. Thanks for mentioning
Square. I think the circ desk folks at mpow does not want to handle
payment at all and move all payment to online. But I will let them know
about Square as an option. OK if I email you with questions if I run into
any issue while investigating Stripe?

If you have the library payment page using Stripe accessible without
authentication by any chance, I would love to see it as well.

Thanks!
Bohyun

Bohyun,

Apologies for the ambiguity.  I didn't know if you were restricted to a
specific CMS or platform already, or if you'd have the ability/freedom to
extend development of a payment gateway yourself.  For example, if you
were
using WordPress, and were already locked in to Mijireh, or needed a
solution to fit some existing proprietary need.  It doesn't sound like
that's the case.

You will still need an SSL certificate on the domain you plan to run
charges through - but you can use non-SSL for testing purposes.  I've
found
the documentation fairly easy to navigate, but I've been implementing
their
solutions for a couple of years now, and perhaps familiar with how they've
set things up.

Just a thought - if you're replacing a cash register at the front desk,
you
could also look into Square (https://square.com).  I think they're giving
that little square credit card swipey-thingy away now for free after
successful registration/activation.  You could just pickup an inexpensive
Android Tablet or find a used iPod Touch to handle transactions.  They
don't offer an embedded API for use in websites - yet.

I hope that helps!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Archiving a website - best practices

[Kim, Bohyun]

HI Alex,

This is really helpful to us. At my library we only had a few sites to archive 
so far. But we are looking into this in case the demand goes up in the future. 
The problem we are encountering is the expectation that the archived copy of a 
website should be easily viewable by patrons. Taking screenshots of every page 
was suggested which we don't think is a reasonable option. Archive-It seems to 
be good for that kind of expectation but it is not free. So we will have to 
see. 

I might need to take up on your offer in the local copy/WARC generation process 
if we decide to go to that route. 

Thank you!

Is this for a one-shot project, or will it be ongoing?  For a medium- to 
long-term initiative, I would suggest a subscription service like Archive-It; 
for a one-time effort, it would make more sense to use open-source tools like 
wget to generate a local copy + WARC.  If it's the latter, I'll be happy to 
take a look at the page and walk you through the process.

I'm not really aware of a set of best practices, beyond the usual tenets of 
digital preservation (show your work, maintain authenticity, do minimal harm, 
document, document, document, etc).  The model I've used in the past is 
generating a WARC alongside the access copy (using wget's WARC output), using 
that as the preservation master+technical metadata, and hosting the access copy 
on a front-facing machine.
