Whew! This year’s SLA 2015 conference was a doozy. There is too much to cover in a single blog post so I’ve boiled it down to a few observations I made during this four-day event geared towards information professionals.

How Do You Evaluate A DAM System’s User Interface?

January 25, 2015 by Ian Matzen, MLIS Leave a Comment

Users will steer clear of an interface that is confusing or inefficient to use (Thurow, 2009). Conducting usability tests are a great way to uncover areas that may stand in the way of user adoption.

REVIEW: CMS DAM Blog Post

April 27, 2012 by Ian Matzen, MLIS Leave a Comment

Henrik de Gyor (2012) chides companies for ignoring to factor in the ability to scale when considering a DAM system. “Do not think short term unless you enjoy frequent database migrations.” A successful company should prepare for growth and that means choosing tools that will grow with them.
