Design Principles
1. Traceability 2. Shareability
3. Accessibility 4. Discoverability
Traceability
Establish Guidelines 1. Has a Facebook account and be transparent in terms of pro@ile 2. Those who did not return the books borrowed will be banned from the community ‣ Publicise and announce at the UXSG Facebook page
3. Books that are lost will have to be replaced with the same book by the borrower 4. Labels will be pasted on every book to indicate which ‘library’ it belongs to
Transparency in Facebook proLile Labels on where the book belongs
Shareability
1. Borrowers could take advantage of social media platforms (e.g UXSG Facebook page) to share on his/her knowledge gained ‣ Able to get a chance to network with people who have read the same book and share their respective experiences
2. Mentoring would not be an obligation but borrowers could ask for advice from librarian on what are the recommended books to read based on what he/she wants to learn
Accessibility
1. Whoever wishes to be a librarian, should not be in a central pro@ile 2. ‘UX Library’ will be at the company’s of@ice therefore borrowers who wish to borrow and return a book will have to head down to the respective company’s of@ice
3. Alternatively, if the book is currently ‘on loan’, the borrower may meet the previous borrower to collect the book halfway instead of having to wait for him/her to return it to the ‘library’
Discoverability
1. Social network promotions 2. Sharing of experience from the 3 different type of users (Librarian, Borrower, ‘Book Contributor’) through meet-‐ups
