Here's what we did during the meeting:
1. readings, read these silently while people were arriving, discussed briefly:
- People don't go to libraries for information.... they go there because.... (from Designing Better Libraries blog)
Excerpts:
The first thing that comes to my mind is that libraries think they are in the information business but they are really in the education or learning business.
libraries are in the knowledge business, and that since knowledge is created through conversations libraries are also or ultimately in the business of facilitating community conversations.
he sees libraries as being in the productivity business, helping students and faculty to efficiently get the resources and help they need to acheive their objectives.
- Innovation: How the Creative Stay Creative
2. watched this 5-minute video to clarify what a vision statement is and how it's different from a mission statement:
