2021-01-13 Meeting notes

Where do people feel UX is at in the Samvera Community for given applications?

• Hyrax

• Hyku

• Avalon - focusing on UI primarily

UX presence in Samera depends on which project working. Some project have little to no time spent.

UX contributed thru client feedback but no research or experts brought in.

Are there places for us to have consistent branding across applications?

Individuals that adopt the products will want their own branding.

Worth talking about hte extent of what UX and design principles are within the Samvera community. There is a practice of working individually within each product.

Best Practices Document for across all Samvera products? Can we provide recommendations to institutions.

UVA Library Design Principles recently Adopted (Human-Centred, Unified, Efficient, Sustainable). Do we do something broad like this for the community to strive for that can loosly drive decisions but also keep flexibility for institutions that use the products.

Put together a working group for principles?
