User Experience magazine has been in print since 2002. In 2013, the editorial team did a fantastic job of putting it online. This year, we decided to unlock the content so that the site is open to all. From 2015, we will move to an entirely digital format and the magazine will no longer appear in print.
On March 11, Susan Farrell announced the publication of a report about User Experience Careers, based on a survey of people working in interaction design, user experience research, and information architecture. According to Susan, they hope that the report “will be useful to students, academic advisors, or people interviewing for UX Positions”. The report answers the question “What is user experience, why are these professions worth considering, and how should I prepare to enter the field?” UXPA is proud to share a link to the report.

Last year, UXPA created a digital edition of User Experience magazine, providing an easy way to find and read both current and archived articles. And, because the digital world doesn’t sit still, here’s what’s new for 2014.
User Experience magazine is looking for authors to write articles for the September 2014 issue exploring health and healthcare.
It goes without saying that we at UXPA want to engage with you. Both UXPA International and our UXPA chapters have a lot to offer. But don’t stop there. If you’re already involved with UXPA, don’t limit yourself to UXPA events or to a single affiliation.
Over the past few years UXPA staff and volunteers have been working to provide a web platform that is worthy of our membership. We made a decision early on to produce not just a website, but a true end-to-end system for everything from content management, member management, and collaboration. To that end, we selected the open-source Drupal CMS as the backbone of the system. We then added in eCommerce, discussion threads, member management, and the like. The result is a great solution for the future of UXPA, and allows us to be more agile as an organization.
