Beyond Usability Testing: Other Research Methods (online class)

[Carson Block]

**Please forgive cross-posts**

For those who already know (and we love you! :0) the sxsw panel picker is
open and we need your vote - here's the list of library submissions with
easy-to-click-links:

For those who don't yet know....to shift the perceptions of libraries from
a warehouse of books to dynamic places that celebrate ideas, we need to
share library innovations far and wide with diverse audiences in unique
formats. SXSW Interactive <http://sxsw.com/interactive> is a major annual
gathering of thought-leaders and funders – “fostering creative and
professional growth alike, SXSW is the premier destination for discovery.”
(Sounds a lot like the library!)

There are a slew of incredible submissions this year proposed by creative
library and museum professionals. You can help put *libraries, archives,
and museums (LAM) *at the forefront of this ideas-exchange by voting for
LAM presentations in the SXSWi Panel Picker from Aug. 19-Sept. 6, 2013, at
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/.  Below is a list of sxswLAM panel proposals
and well as sxswLAM-related panel proposals.  You can also do a search by
keyword in the Panel Picker for “library” or “libraries”and there are
dozens more. If you believe that librarian voices need to be heard, even if
you’re not attending, we need your vote to make it happen at SXSWi 2014.

Again, the handy-dandy list of library, archive and museum proposals is
here:

Thanks!
