Abstract

This paper examines one of the emerging information jobs - user experience (UX) professionals and compares the differences in domestic and global UX job market. We collected job descriptions of UX related jobs from three job-hunting websites, and analyzed job duties, and job requirements on knowledge and skills, capability and degrees to characterize the new profession. The results provide some implications for educating information professionals in emerging technical fields such as UX. Information management schools should play an important role in shaping the field.
