The Academic Library Startup: UX, Innovation and Social Technologies http://digitalcommons.lmu.edu/ajcu/2011-conference-program/presentations/4 http://digitalcommons.lmu.edu/ajcu/2011-conference-program/presentations/4 Tue, 12 Apr 2011 14:15:00 PDT With already tight budgets, how do academic libraries provide new value for their audiences? Kevin Rundblad, User Experience and Social Technology Strategist at UCLA Library, will discuss a new approach to creating value in libraries. The Library Startup is a combination of leveraging user experience (UX), rethinking organizational structures to favor innovation, and involving users in the design/development of new library web/mobile products and services. He will provide some examples from the student innovation group he manages at UCLA, and discuss potentials of app sharing among the library community.

Drawing upon experience in the University of California’s Next Generation Technical Services initiative, Ms. Hruska will describe the process of building consensus and an action agenda on a system-wide level. Now in an environment where expectations and resources have changed dramatically from the time the project began two years ago, she will outline the organizational thinking currently shaping next steps and how it furthers the basic principles on which the project started. These include thinking more broadly about the Libraries’ infrastructures in terms of content and interdependencies to improve the users’ experiences.

In response, the School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University is expanding its curriculum to ensure that its graduates are ready to meet the future, including the program’s graduates who are interested in working in academic libraries.

Join us for a lively discussion with the School’s director, as we explore the changing roles of academic librarians and the knowledge and skills they will need to be successful in the years ahead. With the increase in online courses and library users who prefer to access library resources and services from off-campus, how can academic librarians continue to meet user needs and serve their institutions? How can they embrace emerging technology to more effectively serve their community, whether in-person or from a distance?
