Library UX Participant Pool

Whether you're a new student, an experienced researcher, or somewhere in between, your opinion matters to the University of Denver Libraries.

The UX Participant Pool is an opt in email list for students who are interested in participating in future user experience studies like usability testing, interviews, surveys, and more.

When you join, you’ll occasionally receive invitations to share your feedback on library services, digital platforms, or spaces. Participation is always voluntary, and some studies offer incentives such as gift cards or library swag as a thank you for your time.

Your feedback will help us improve the library services for everyone.
