Is your Web site 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 Web sites 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.
