titleRecruiting university staff as participants

As mentioned above we don’t pay University of York staff for UX sessions as they happen during salaried time, but we’ve not found recruiting academics to be a problem. 

The best approach is to send an email explaining the project and its aims and what would be involved to specific people (rather than a ‘Dear All’ blanket message) and most will say yes. The Academic Liaison Team can help you with both selecting and contacting academics. 

We haven’t at the time of writing asked non-academic, non-Information Services staff to participate in UX fieldwork, but there may well be projects in the future where this is a relevant and useful thing to do - for example, talking to Departmental Managersdepartmental managers, or people from 'Timetabling'.
