- Participatory Design in Academic Libraries: New Reports and Findings. CLIR Publication No. 161 Foster, Nancy Fried, Ed. Academic Libraries Users (Information) Design Participation Library Services Library Administration Library Research Ethnography Observation Library Facilities Use Studies Qualitative Research Statistical Analysis User Needs (Information) Health Sciences Administrative Organization Space Utilization College Students Student Participation This report is based on a series of presentations at the second CLIR Seminar on "Participatory Design of Academic Libraries," held at the University of Rochester's River Campus June 5-7, 2013. Participatory design is a relatively recent approach to understanding library user behavior. It is based on techniques used in anthropological and ethnographic observation.This second volume hears from a number of librarians and library staff who have taken CLIR workshops and gone on to conduct their own participatory design projects. In these papers, they explain how they learned about the people who use their libraries, whether in person or online, and how they applied their findings to the design or improvement of library technologies, spaces, and services. The papers in this volume are presented in ten themed chapters: Introduction: Chapter 1. Participatory Design in Academic Libraries: The Second CLIR Seminar (Nancy Fried Foster); Keynote: Chapter 2. Organizing the Library for User-Centered Design (David Lindahl); Methodological Papers: Chapter 3. A Recipe for Participatory Design of Course Pages (Susan K. Cardinal); Chapter 4.
