Description

Participatory design is an excellent way to engage the user, increase sense of ownership, and complete projects that might not otherwise fit into a busy librarian’s schedule. In spring 2015, the User Experience team at Michigan State University Libraries had the good fortune of partnering with undergraduates to work on two space-related projects. This presentation will consider the benefits of engaging student stakeholders as design consultants, and presenters will share the impressive results of the two student-led user experience projects.
