Abstract: Design thinking is a process designers use to thoughtfully
identify problems and develop prototypes useful for implementing an elegant
solution. In response to the growing interest in design thinking, this web
conference will cover insights into the process and examples of how
librarians are integrating it into their practice. You'll learn how you can
develop and lead a design challenge at your library. 

 

Keynote Speakers: The conference is being organized in partnership with
Steven J. Bell, who will moderate the opening keynote panel (panelists to be
announced) and deliver the closing address.
