Enhancing User Experience through Technology
The University of Houston Libraries will seek out, develop, and utilize cutting-edge technology to provide powerful computing services, streamlined information access, and high quality training opportunities to all users. 
We will focus in particular on creating an environment that encourages experimentation with innovative new technology and resources. Library staff will discover inventive new ways to deliver service by evaluating emerging technologies and soliciting input regarding user needs and perceptions. Mobile access options will be a top priority as our users increasingly favor handheld devices and equipment. Ongoing technology training for UH Libraries staff and users will enable both groups to maximize the benefits of technology.
As a nearly ubiquitous component of the Libraries’ services and resources, technology also plays a vital role in the preceding three strategic directions, and it will support scholarly activity, collaborative partnerships, and innovative services. Both within and beyond these areas of focus, the Libraries’ technological initiatives will strive to enhance the user experience and respond to user needs through a robust program of assessment and analysis.
