User eXperience Lab Research
Many researchers use our lab to facilitate their usability, user behavior, and user experience research.
The UXL supports the work of several university, government, and corporate groups, including: Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE), UTK Creative Communications, UT University Libraries, UT Housing, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Office of Science and Technical Information (OSTI), Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility, National Phenology Network (NPN), and Tennessee Electronic Libraries.
Below is a list of researchers who have used our lab in their studies, and subsequently have published their findings:
