Is your website the same as it was when it was first created in 1997? Do your fiction and nonfiction stacks resemble a warehouse as much as a library? Do customers have an experience at your library that entails more than just picking up stuff?
Library customers are used to getting an enhanced user-experience from other websites and retailers. Learn how to create services that embrace the Library 2.0 concept and encourage customer feedback and participation. Discover a digital environment that doesn't just list the library hours, but functions as a branch location. Bring your stacks to life by reorganizing and working with your digital branch and customers.
