Modern library services can be incredibly complex. Much more so than their forebears, modern librarians must grapple daily with questions of how best to implement innovative new services, while also maintaining and updating the old. The efforts undertaken are immense, but how best to evaluate their success? In this groundbreaking new book from Routledge, library practitioners, anthropologists, and design experts combine to advocate a new focus on User Experience (or ‘UX’) research methods. Through a combination of theoretical discussion and applied case studies, they argue that this ethnographic and human-centred design approach enables library professionals to gather rich evidence-based insights into what is really going on in their libraries, allowing them to look beyond what library users say they do to what they actually do. Edited by the team behind the international UX in Libraries conference, User Experience in Libraries will ignite new interest in a rapidly emerging and game-changing area of research. Clearly written and passionately argued, it is essential reading for all library professionals and students of Library and Information Science. It will also be welcomed by anthropologists and design professionals working in related fields.

How do we begin to assess the impact of economic, technological, demographic, and management trends in our environment and understand the long term implications? How can administrators, managers and information professionals take advantage of these trends? How can librarians empower staff and change organizational hierarchies to create more responsive and rewarding environments? How do we restructure organizations to make them more learning- and student-centered and more responsive to the needs of new clienteles? These are just a few of the questions addressed in Libraries as User-Centered Organizations, which examines organizational change from the point of view that academic institutions are experiencing a paradigm shift in the definition of their mission, their focus, and their activities. As librarians move into a new paradigm of library as gateway and connector, they must also shift their focus from the information product to the user of information. This profound change in vision is explored in this book through the concept of user-centeredness, a focus on the habits, needs, desires, dislikes, abilities, and preferences of the user. Libraries as User-Centered Organizations explores a variety of important aspects of organizational change including: leadership styles sustaining and expanding staff empowerment and creativity collaboration between libraries and computer centers creating multicultural organizations remolding the library science educational structure organizational change in professional associations Libraries as User-Centered Organizations looks at current trends affecting higher education, research libraries, professional education for librarians, professional associations, and publishing from the point of view of some of the leaders in these fields and offers readers a context for viewing organizational change. The book is of particular assistance to library administrators and educators engaged in planning for change and rethinking operations and services.

Angesichts der Veränderung digitaler Sammlungen und ihres wachsenden Umfangs müssen Bibliotheken neue Technologien einsetzen, um den Zugang zu ihrem Bestand zu gewährleisten. Informationsvisualisierung kann eine visuelle Möglichkeit zur effizienten Exploration solcher Sammlungen bieten. In den Bibliotheken fehlt es jedoch an Wissen über die Sichtweise von Nutzenden und an praktischen Richtlinien zur Entwicklung von Visualisierungen. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll dazu beitragen, diese Lücke zu schließen. Erstens konnten aus zwölf Experteninterviews 112 Design-Empfehlungen für die Implementierung von Visualisierungen in Bibliotheken und ein Metamodell für solche Projekte gewonnen werden. Zweitens deutet eine Umfrage mit 242 Teilnehmenden darauf hin, dass die Häufigkeit der Nutzung digitaler Materialien sowie Forschungsthemen das Interesse an Visualisierungen beeinflussen. Drittens wurde mit einem partizipativem Designansatz im Kontext einer Interviewstudie zu Arbeitsweisen von historisch orientierten Theolog*innen eine prototypische Visualisierung mit digitalisierten Briefen aus der Harvard Library entwickelt und in einer Evaluationsstudie als innovativ, effizient und nützlich beurteilt.

Libraries in the Twenty-First Century brings together library educators and practitioners to provide a scholarly yet accessible overview of library and information management and the challenges that the twenty-first century offers the information profession. The papers in this collection illustrate the changing nature of the library as it evolves into its twenty-first century manifestation. The national libraries of Australia and New Zealand, for instance, have harnessed information and communication technologies to create institutions that are far more national, even democratic, in terms of delivery of service and sheer presence than their print-based predecessors.Aimed at practitioners and students alike, this publication covers specific types of library and information agencies, discusses specific aspects of library and information management and places developments in library and information services in a number of broad contexts: socio-economic, ethico-legal, historical and educational.
