WORKING WITH TOPICS
• JSTOR Thesaurus: a controlled vocabulary w/ 48,000+ unique terms
• Subject matter experts reviewed and extended the branches dealing with Sustainability
• With their input, we created ~750 topic pages, ranging fromacid rain to zoogeography
• Next up: incorporate into primary JSTOR site
• New “Sustainability collection” for libraries, consisting of new-to-JSTOR journals and research reports
• Extend beyond Sustainability

Prior to the Flash Build
1. User interviews
2. Create the data & infrastructure
During the Flash Build
3. Design jam
4. Paper prototypes
5. Low-fi prototypes
6. Working site
After the Flash Build
7. Polish & clean up
8. Release & measure
WHAT WE LEARN, WHEN
User Input!
Who are they?
What can we do that will help them?
How can we make our implementationeven better?
How should weimplement it?
How’d we do?

LESSONS FOR LIBRARIES(AND MAYBE PUBLISHERS TOO)
![Page 22: UKSG Conference 2016 Breakout Session - Of Libraries and Labs: effecting user-driven innovation, Alex Humphreys](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a51d211a28ab143f8b52cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1. Doing something is better than talking about it.
![Page 23: UKSG Conference 2016 Breakout Session - Of Libraries and Labs: effecting user-driven innovation, Alex Humphreys](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a51d211a28ab143f8b52cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. It’s nice to hear someone say,
“Ohmigod, this is amazing!”
![Page 24: UKSG Conference 2016 Breakout Session - Of Libraries and Labs: effecting user-driven innovation, Alex Humphreys](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a51d211a28ab143f8b52cd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
3. If you go fast enough, you can help people break out of old patterns.

4. This work suggests better ways to support digital humanities: - tools and content together - a model for partnering with scholars - lower barrier of entry to DH - start your own lab, adopt these practices in an existing team, or find a partner*
* Like JSTOR Labs!
