My review of last week’s #uxlibs conference in Brighton…

Back to where it all started 😀

Great theme! To be able to authentically empathise with users of any services is really important. Even now in my new line of work to be able to quickly understand how people feel and what they are going through is so important, but not alway easy #uxlibs

2023 was a year of trying to get from A to B. I don’t want to do it again but I’m glad we got there. carlbarrow.wordpress.com/2024/01/08/cha…

We have just opened bookings for the 2024 User Experience in Libraries conference in Cambridge. You can book your place and find out more at: uxlib.org/uxlibs2024/ #uxlibs #libraries #UserExperience #libraryUX #uxdesign #uxresearch Please share with your library colleagues!

Just a short post about this winter and how I’ve felt about it so far carlbarrow.wordpress.com/2024/01/29/the…

Yet another blog post, this time about what it feels like to look back on memories, something I do a lot of. Read if you feel like it, scroll on if you don’t, there’s a lot of other stuff to read and writing this just keeps me on track 😊 carlbarrow.wordpress.com/2024/02/22/mem…

For those who like to follow my blog, here’s my latest post - Navigating Mother’s Day carlbarrow.wordpress.com/2024/03/10/nav…

With Alton Towers Resort and Thorpe Park Official ready to open, I thought it timely to re-share my ‘importance of rollercoasters’ post. The boys and I can’t wait to ride Nemesis Reborn and Hyperia! But we’ll be sad to ride with an empty seat where Beth would have been. carlbarrow.wordpress.com/2018/11/23/the…

A bit late retweeting this! So excited to be getting back to #uxlibs and so excited to be running a workshop! Equally as excited to catch up with those I haven’t seen for five years!

I absolutely love this, Jared sent it on tonight. It’s not long since we watched the movie, but the mixed intro to the track is so true and really hit home! on.soundcloud.com/QUR6aMDGrjnCPU…

I didn’t share my latest blog post on Twitter/X yet, so here it is. Just a little bit about how music can affect us and how we all take a meaning from it. #M83 #outro carlbarrow.wordpress.com/2024/04/05/m83…

In December 2022 I wrote a post titled ‘Day Sleeper’. It was about my first experiences of working night shifts. Now 18 months on things feel a little different, so it’s time for part two. carlbarrow.wordpress.com/2024/05/27/day…

Just a little bit of a teaser trailer! So excited to be stepping back in your profession and looking forward to catching up with people I’ve not seen for a long time! This might be work for you guys, but it’s actually a holiday for me! #uxlibs UX in Libraries

Preparing for #UXLibs and as usual I want to say and do too much! Andy Priestner 🏳️‍🌈 You did say two hours right!? 🤣

Final prep for #uxlibs before two day shifts and a night shift. See everyone for drinks in Cambridge on Tuesday night! Very much looking forward to it 😀

Out of bed in time for the start of the conference! Just not actually there yet. #uxlibs

Really interested and pleased that empathy and curiosity have been brought up in the context of healthcare in both talks this morning! #uxlibs

VTS - so we make assumptions based on what we see in front of us? - We start to build our own story which may be very different from the person next to us #uxlibs

VTS - the use of ‘what more?’ ‘What else’ demonstrated. #uxlibs
