<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Hi! Would you like to write for the OLA

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">UX in Oregon Libraries</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The fall issue of OLA Quarterly is
dedicated to exploring user experience practices in Oregon libraries. By user
experience, we mean looking at the whole of a user's experience with a library
as well as the human-computer interaction. What are you doing in your library
to enhance the user's experience? What tools is your library using or
experimenting with? How do you assess the user experience? What has worked and
what hasn't worked? This issue is about the state of user experience in Oregon
libraries.</span></p>

Marquez. He is the Web Services librarian at the Reed College Library.</span></p>
