Efforts are underway to integrate the more than 3 million Artstor images with JSTOR’s journals, ebooks, and primary source content. Integrating image resources alongside textual content fosters interdisciplinary opportunities and opens up access to new users. It also requires dedication to preserve existing workflows for image-centric research and teaching.
In 2021, the JSTOR user research team conducted qualitative research with hundreds of faculty and librarians about their image teaching and learning needs. This session shares tactics, methods, and insights guiding the product development of Artstor/JSTOR. The user experience framework in this presentation may be used to ensure user-centric design for a variety of projects.
As part of this session we will explore a framework centered around the following user needs: -Explore/Discover -Evaluate and Analyze -Scholarship -Teaching -Access and Impact
