Description: 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.
