The 6-course sequence with Library Juice Academy starts
next month.
In this 6-course certificate program, you will learn the
fundamentals of user experience (UX) and how to apply user-centered strategies
to library websites and beyond. The program begins by teaching you the key
concepts of UX design and how to employ them in your website projects. Next,
you will learn the ins and outs of information architecture: how to structure
and organize your content so that it is both discoverable and navigable in the
easiest way possible. The next two courses will give you the tools to
continually get feedback on your website through usability testing and other
research methods. You will then learn how to better write for the web so that
once your users discover your content, they can both understand it and act on
it. Finally, you will learn how you can create a website content strategy, so
that from that point forward all your content will be useful, usable, and
findable. All together, these courses cover a breadth of topics that will equip
you with the skills necessary to create, manage, and sustain library websites
that provide an excellent user experience.
