Looking to push further into Library UX and begin imagining the spaces and interfaces your library can become? Designing For Digital bakes this sentiment in from the start. More than just a slogan, "Designing the Future of Libraries" is what this conference is all about.  

Whether you attend physically, or digitally, you'll find a mix of intensive workshops, interactive seminars and informative sessions, all expertly chosen to supply hours and hours of education. Focused on user experience, discovery, design and usability, D4D provides opportunities for beginners to learn the basics and more advanced professionals to dig deep into a topic or skill.

UX In Libraries (UXLibs)

UX in Libraries takes the quest for more relevant, user-centric library services and makes it international. Based in the UK, the conference brings together library workers from both public and academic libraries, and focuses on one specific aspect of UX research and design. Each conference boasts highly interactive and practical workshops, a team challenge, and the UX in Libraries notebook --- a published proceeding which gathers together the many presentations given at each event. 

Past conferences have explored: human centered design, ethnography, diversity and inclusivity, technique, methods and insights.
