Materials from Samvera Connect 2018. The conference attracted some 170 people from 60 institutions to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. This collection contains slide decks from presentations and panel sessions, posters from the Poster Reception, photographs and more.
What is Samvera Connect? Samvera Connect (formerly Hydra Connect) is a chance for the Samvera Community to gather in one place at one time, with an emphasis on synchronizing efforts, technical development, plans, and community links. The meeting program is aimed at existing users, managers and developers and at new folks who may be just "kicking the tires" on Samvera and who want to know more. Samvera advertises this yearly conference with the slogan "as a Samvera Partner or user, if you can only make it to one Samvera meeting this academic year, this is the one to attend! " This collection holds sub-collections of materials from each of these annual conferences.
Since its inception in 2008, Samvera (previously the Hydra Project) has had a number of logos, both for the Community itself and for its various initiatives. Most of these logos have had a serious purpose, some have been more flippant. Most of them have, at one time or another, been available on our sought-after hex stickers. We've tried to gather them here and provide some context for each. We've also tried to track down some of the marketing materials and artifacts they were used on. Each year we commission a new design for our conference t-shirt. You'll also find a record of those here!
How can we include user experience [UX] best practices in Hydra's core development work? How can UX experts contribute effectively to the Hydra project? How can we ensure that decisions around elements that affect the user experience are based on good evidence? Through case studies and facilitated discussion, this panel will seek to demonstrate and explore how to better integrate end-user feedback into the Hydra development stream. Dave McCallum from the University of Oregon explores issues of accessibility and the user experience. Jenn Colt from Cornell University and Sonya Betz from the University of Alberta will facilitate an active discussion around building UX into Hydra development workflows, and will ask participants to suggest strategies for including real users and their feedback in design and development decisions.
