SUMMARY:User Experience Caucus Membership Meeting: Building a Database Creature with the Best Features Report
DESCRIPTION:This meeting will include User Experience (UX) Caucus updates and the feature presentation\, “Building a (Database) Creature with the Best Features: An Unscientific Report” (additional details about the presentation are provided below). There will also be plenty of opportunities for attendees to vent about databases (and who doesn’t want that?). Both members and nonmembers of the UX Caucus are welcome to attend. Building a (Database) Creature with the Best Features: An Unscientific Report – It’s alive! Or we wish it were. On June 16th\, 2026\, the Medical Library Association’s UX Caucus hosted the networking event\, “Building a (Database) Creature with the Best Features”\, at the Library Evidence Synthesis Services Symposium (LESSS). During this event\, more than sixty evidence synthesis librarians across disciplines assembled in an unscientific effort to cobble together their dream database platform based on the ones they search every day. The results are in. Come hear about them (if you dare! Muahahahaha!). What are your favorite platform features\, or what platform would you chase with a burning torch? Let us know at the meeting!
