about

Between 2017 and 2020, the University of Oregon Libraries and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art carried out an ambitious initiative to develop and test a model for collaboration between a university’s art museum and its libraries. The initiative resulted in six digital exhibits with global reach and an active community of scholars and professionals bridging the two institutions.

Digital GLAM Spaces Conference

Building a Community of Practice for User Experience and Accessibility

November 10th 2021, Online

Digital GLAM Spaces is a conference about building community around web accessibility and user experience. It’s a place for GLAM practitioners to share definitions and best practices for what is UX and accessibility; communicate digital strategies for incorporating user research into digital projects; and talk about the people, skillsets, and support needed to be better and make web accessibility and user experience part of our work instead of bolted on.
