Abstract
This case study explores how the Wellcome Library’s mass digitization efforts refocused the organization on the overall UX of search and discovery for a hybrid physical/digital library. Based on user research, followed by agile prototyping, the What's In The Library? project has led to rethinking design, metadata and content strategy.
