Clarke, a researcher whose work has systematically examined the capacity of design thinking to revolutionize LIS education and the exploration of diverse library reading materials, guides readers through this trend. After introducing the concept, she outlines the steps of the design thinking process model. She then shares various examples of design projects in libraries, illustrating how design thinking extends beyond just space planning or website design and is applicable to all library products and services. She also demonstrates the ways in which design can either enable or stifle such foundational library values as intellectual freedom, diversity, and access. Concluding with a rousing call to action for all librarians to recognize their positions as designers, this book will encourage readers to recognize how design thinking can empower libraries."-- OP - 44 CN - Z678 SN - 9780838946893 SN - 0838946895 SN - 9780838946886 SN - 0838946879 SN - 9780838946879 SN - 0838946887 SN - 9780838917923 SN - 0838917925 KW - Library planning.
