Innovation by Design: Revisioning the Library -- Friday, December 10, 2010

Design impacts everything we do. What does this mean for libraries? Design comes into play as we craft our collections, create instruction programs, construct user-centered websites, renovate buildings, and redesign our policies. It mediates our information-seeking behavior, connects us with both students and faculty, and influences our interactions with our physical environment. This year’s symposium looks at design in academic libraries from four very different perspectives. Come join the conversation.
