Comments on: Who We Are http://dbl.lishost.org/blog Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:05:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Brian Lym http://dbl.lishost.org/blog/who-we-are/comment-page-1/#comment-2251 Brian Lym Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:12:04 +0000 http://dbl.lishost.org/blog/?page_id=4#comment-2251 Thanks for this blog!! Terrific resource....there's a LOT in business world about user-centered design, but nothing really (except for the the U of Rochester work) in libraryland. At MPOW (which operates more along a business model with clients, and formal marketing efforts, etc.) we have actively sought and connected to user-centered design prof.development opportunities outside the library world--a good organization to be aware of is the Usability Professionals' Association. Just attended the NYC chapter's event--with presentation links (interesting stuff about user experience innovations--going beyond traditional usability testing): http://www.nycupa.org/ Thanks for this blog!!

It is for librarians from all sectors. You should notice that our posts are not exclusive to academic libraries - despite the composition of our blog team. We will focus on discussion ideas, techniques and practices that can be adopted in any library. But we appreciate this comment, and in time as we find our voice and our audience we will be open to inviting other bloggers to join DBL. We can certainly be looking to other sectors for these individuals. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. DBL is a blog that is library neutral, just as design thinking is library neutral.
