			===[https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00799-025-00436-6 Going beyond digital libraries: a literature review of phygital user experience research methods]===
			This paper investigates the emerging concept of “phygital” (physical and digital) user experience (UX) research within the context of public and academic libraries. The group began this work in 2023 based on the interests and work of group members at the time. When the publishing opportunity in the International Journal on Digital Libraries emerged, the group decided to formalize this work into a publishable literature review. This paper was published in November 2025.
