Ett avsnitt om hur interaktiv teknik bäst designas för att motsvara människans behov
info_outlineGrand Valley State University library is famous for their radically student centered building and library. Kristin will tell us the story of one library that wants to create a permission culture, is working with iterative improvements and is asking themselves: How does this benefit our users?
Although they had a brand new, beautiful and expensive building, they realized that they had to find ways of working that adapted to change and picked up new user needs and behaviours. This led to development of unique ways to serve students.
And as Kristin says: There is a difference between caring about users and actually being proactive.
