UT Libraries Technology Pros

If we accept this, are there implications for our aim to design a responsive site?

I take issue with focusing on the amount of time spent in apps vs. mobile web. If you look at the breakdown, 68% of app time is on pure entertainment activities like gaming, social media and YouTube. Which makes total sense that people spend a disproportionate amount of time on those things. Plus that guy looks really annoying!

RE: Mason-Good points, Señor Mason. But using inflammatory titles gets people reading. My next post will be "LIBRARIES ARE DEAD-EVERYTHING IS ON GOOGLE, ANYWAY".

Might be cool to try with clients or maybe pilot test it on the TIS section of the staff site

Trying to decide if we need these...

The display is made up of pieces that rise and fall to create a simple, but breakthrough, 3-D shape that you create.

Thought the Team would enjoy. Very few people on their death bed have said, "I should have spent more time at work." FROM THE WEBSITE: SurveyMonkey has been profitable from almost day one and refuses to go public. SurveyMonkey has done all of this while creating a culture that enables the company's CEO, Dave Goldberg, to leave the office by 5:30 p.m.

I came to this site via a Tweet about the "Evaluating digital services" infoKit which is pretty interesting. So are the others! "Our infoKits contain a wealth of 'self-help' material, from simple methodologies to manage projects, risks, change and processes; to image galleries of technology-rich spaces and reflections from leaders to learners showcasing the inspiring use of technology across the sectors."

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

An interesting article on using sketches in the collaboration within a team. While this article concentrates on mobile solutions, sketching can be used for websites as well. A pull-quote from the article: "Learning from sketches is based largely on the ambiguous nature of their representation. (Sketches) do not specify everything and lend themselves to, and encourage, various interpretations that were not consciously integrated into them by their creator."

I read a positive blurb about this citation/reference app in WIRED magazine and thought some of you wacky librarians may find it helpful.

Very cool! Thanks for posting, Daniel.

Stefanie recommend's for wireframe fonts and icons!

I came here trying to get a better feel for what "data curation" really means. I found the data management "stack model" explanation in this 5 minute video to be helpful.

I only read the Executive Summary but it seems relevant to our discussion of better supporting DH/DS work.

This is not a ground-breaking site but there are a handful of things they're doing well that demonstrate how much simpler/better our design could be: 1. It's a visually interesting and attractive site without resorting to images sprinkled randomly throughout content. Each images has a home and a purpose. (We've got to move away from treating the web like a print layout where we allow our content folks to intersperse text with images) 2. The text on pages is structured well and utilizes nicely-styled headings and bulleted lists to make it easy to scan/digest lots of content. I also like how the B/W Feature images on the homepage become full color on hover. A nice touch. Also, nice use of white space to avoid overwhelming.

This list isn't necessarily up to date-for instance Smartsheet isn't listed but the ISO has already approved it-but it may be a place for us to keep an eye on in the future as we attempt to not reinvent the wheel/do original research when it comes to potential tools we could use

Atomic is a browser based design application allows graphic/UI designers to create work that can be viewed and manipulated from within the browser. Designers can quickly share their ideas with a link and collaborators can give feedback right inside the product. (link sent by Aaron)
