Academic librarians work in physical and digital environments that we often have little control over. Journey mapping is a UX research technique that can help us identify how our users navigate, experience, and use our library spaces.  It can also provide us with a wealth of data that can be shared to advocate for improvements to our library design. This session will focus on journey mapping tools and techniques as they apply to the physical and emotional experience of library use and discovery. The co-chairs will outline the primary elements of journey mapping. Participants will discuss any tools and techniques they have used in their libraries that study their users. If time permits, there will be breakout groups and/or a hands-on activity.
