Really enjoyed this @userinterviews ep on the intersection of a few of my favorite topics: user research, insights repositories, and taxonomy. Recommend!
Libraries have been using insights repositories for decades—and it’s time #UserResearch teams catch up.
This week, Nada Alnakeeb of DoorDash & Joanna Perez of Netflix joined us to talk about how to choose, organize, and manage the right repository tool. bit.ly/3MPIlqE

Really enjoyed the “Applying Research in Industry” session at #ASIST2021, which focused on translating academic research skills to industry work. Jotted down some great advice from the panelists (even though my path is more industry → academia → industry 🤷♀️).
“Always be making stuff. You'll be asked to research really specific things, but find a way to keep asking the question a different way. And always be proud of the work you’re putting in your portfolio.” - Christine Anderson (VP UX/UI at The Trade Desk) #asist21
“Your career is going to be a jungle gym. Don’t hone in on the exact thing you want. Hone in on somewhere where you will show up engaged.” - Laurentia Romaniuk (Trends Expert & Senior Product Manager, Catalog at Instacart) #asist21
Great quote from the Career Development in Knowledge Management session at #asist21:
“Most people are not knowledge management experts, nor are they going to be experts, but everyone is a part-time KM practitioner.”
- Lu An, Professor at Wuhan University
