| == Addressing users and user needs: The User Studies Working Group white paper ==
| |
| | |
| Participants identified four assessment topics to explore during the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rLdMSPCbR_F-hE0ZhWzS70IBGEMh1450ff0x_ioPrIk/edit Assessment Breakout Session] at the 2014 DLF Forum:

| | |
| # User/Usability studies
| |
| # Identifying users and uses
| |
| # Return On Investment (ROI)
| |
| # Reuse of content/what do users do with content
| |
| | |
| These four groups will make up the focus of a white paper on assessing users and user needs. The working group will complete a series of tasks to generate the white paper:
| |
| | |
| # Compile a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AVlT3QlmhbcUmoRtZ0hpvEhpbD9_Eld5bHsa-JNHX24/edit?usp=sharing bibliography]
| |
| # Develop a literature review -- completed
| |
| # Draft and publish a white paper on assessing users and user needs in digital libraries - In Progress
| |
| | |
| The working group will publish a draft of the the white paper for public comment prior to the 2015 DLF Forum. The final draft will be released shortly after the forum. Volunteers will be completing tasks in the order listed above to build up to the publication of the white paper.
