The ALN User Experience Community of Practice, Learning Spaces and Service Engagement & Impact Special Interest Groups are hosting this 1-day online event on designing or updating a new library space, the UX perspective and evaluating the impact of the changes.

We are inviting submissions from members on the following ideas/themes:

• Changing library or learning spaces. This could be anything from major changes, the creation of new library buildings, to smaller projects such as updating a room, corner or section in the library.

• We are interested in hearing about any UX work conducted, consultations with stakeholders, horizon scanning, and library visits to inform ideas and designs for your new space.

• We are also keen to hear about follow up work once the new spaces have been implemented:
  - how have people evaluated the impact and usage of the space?
  - have further changes been made once the spaces are in use?

Presentations can be either:

• a 15-20 minute short paper (including time for questions) or
• a 40 minute longer presentation (including time for questions)

We're also looking for people to be on a troubleshooting panel to share different methodologies/experiences on library space projects. You don't need to have delivered a presentation to offer to be on the panel. Attendees will be invited to submit an issue/question idea on what they are wanting to improve and the panel will share experiences and best practice.

The event will also include virtual networking opportunities for group discussion.

Your email address and information supplied in this form will be shared with members of the organising group, who will consider your submission and reply to you directly.

We may record the event for those who cannot attend on the day. Should you prefer your session NOT to be recorded, please contact us at: academiclibrariesnorth@sconul.ac.uk.

Submission deadline: Thursday 31st October 2024
