| == What are the best methods for assessing user needs with regards to digital libraries? ==

| == 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 -- '''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.
