Tools mentioned that were useful include frameworks like Skeleton, Foundation and Bootstrap. Lessons learned emphasized spending time on content and design before coding, continuing to optimize linked sites, and testing across devices.
Beyond Task Based Testing: Interviews and PersonasJeff Wisniewski
The document discusses personas and how they can be used in conjunction with task-based testing to improve user experience design. It defines personas as hypothetical archetypes created to represent primary user groups. Personas are derived from user research like interviews and are given names and details to make them realistic representations. The benefits of personas include keeping the focus on users, supporting evidence-based decisions, providing focus for where to spend design efforts, and communicating design decisions effectively to stakeholders. While task-based testing provides valuable insights, personas allow raising the base level of a design before testing to improve the quality of tasks and make more representative samples. The document outlines how to create personas through research methods and how to use them to frame discussions and decisions.
This document discusses analyzing website data and metrics to better understand user behavior. It recommends segmenting content by type and user goals. Qualitative data like user interviews and personas can provide context to interpret metrics. Goals and funnels should be based on these user tasks. Different metrics may apply to different content like engagement, informational or funnel pages. Visualizing data through reports on traffic sources, landing pages, and top pages can help communicate results.
The document discusses how libraries can make their spaces work harder for users through flexibility, collaboration, and focusing on knowledge creation rather than just knowledge management. It provides examples of libraries that have recording studios, collaboration rooms, movable walls and furniture, and share spaces with other campus services. The keys to success are said to be involving users, and having flexibility through features like casters, grommets, movable walls and furniture, and ensuring adequate wireless connectivity no matter where items are moved. The future of libraries is seen as moving away from being just collections of books and more towards being spaces that facilitate knowledge sharing and creation.
This document summarizes the key points in a discussion about web-scale discovery tools. It notes that integrated library systems are no longer fully integrated and libraries manage digital materials separately from print in inefficient workflows. It also notes that 0% of users start on a library website so discovery needs to be available elsewhere. Fulfillment of requests is as important as discovery. While some argue broad searches are unnecessary or that aggregated indexes are opaque, the document counters that discovery is only as good as its coverage and users generally do not care about the details of the search mechanisms as long as they are easy to use.
The document provides an introduction and overview of using Google Analytics to measure and analyze website usage. It outlines the key metrics and sections of the Google Analytics interface, including the dashboard, intelligence, visitors, and traffic sources. The presentation aims to help attendees set up a Google Analytics account, add the tracking code to their website, and understand basic web metrics and reports.
The document provides instructions for setting up filters, advanced segments, goals, and event tracking in Google Analytics. It discusses how to exclude specific IP addresses from reports using filters. It also describes how to create custom advanced segments to compare traffic from different devices. The document outlines the process for setting up conversion goals and funnels. Additionally, it explains how to use event tracking to monitor actions on pages like video plays or file downloads. Lastly, the document provides steps for tracking outbound links to other websites.
- Mobile first and tablet-centric design focus on creating responsive designs that adapt to different screen sizes, with mobile-first design prioritizing content for mobile screens and tablet-centric design focusing on layout for tablets.
- Designing for mobile first requires a minimalist approach and focusing on key tasks by removing unnecessary elements and highlighting the most important content/features.
- Evidence shows users prefer stripped-down, content-focused designs on mobile via tools like Readability and services like Instapaper that remove excess content.
Visitors take steps along a funnel to reach a goal page. The goal is the page reached after completing a desired action, such as class registration. Steps are added along the funnel from the homepage to the thank you page to see where visitors are lost. The goal name should intuitively describe the desired action, and library goals often involve reaching a specific URL destination page.
The document discusses tips and best practices for writing effectively for the web. It provides guidance on using plain language, short sentences, active voice, and visual elements to engage users who typically scan pages rather than read thoroughly online. Key recommendations include using pronouns and action words, simplifying text, avoiding jargon, and developing editorial guidelines.
This document provides tips and tricks for using SharePoint. It discusses migrating content to SharePoint 2010 using rules-based importing.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
