When Design Meets Service: What Global Library Trends Show Us About Future Library Spaces
Tuesday, March 20, 2018, 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Pennsylvania Convention Center, 103 AB
What do the most innovative libraries around the world know that we don’t? What could we learn from connecting outside our own regions and learning together? Part spin on the traditional travelogue, full of photographs and details, and part hands-on design thinking workshop and brainstorming session, we will take a multi-country view on what is happening in libraries around the world, from the perspective of two director-level librarians deeply concerned with service design and delivery.
At the end of this session, participants will:
1: Have a deeper understanding of global trends in library services 2: Leave inspired by the examples of implementation of customer-focused library design 3: Experience design thinking and brainstorming techniques
The session organizer(s) identified this session as appropriate for:
Level 2: People with some knowledge, who want to increase their understanding.
