Description
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.
