Description
Design Thinking: A Primer for Libraries By Rachel Ivy Clarke, published by American Library Association in 2020. This primer introduces design thinking as an approach to problem-solving that prioritizes empathy with users and iterates solutions through implementation. Clarke explores how design thinking can be applied to all library products and services, from space planning to website design, and its impact on foundational values such as intellectual freedom, diversity, and access. The book outlines the steps of the design thinking process model and shares examples of design projects in libraries, demonstrating its potential to empower libraries. Clarke concludes by encouraging librarians to recognize their positions as designers and take action to apply design thinking in their work.
