Library Self vs. Library Action

Jenica P. Rogers, Director of Libraries State University of New York at Potsdam Potsdam, New York What kind of library do you want to be for your users? We need to worry less about what we're doing, and more about why we're doing it. Why did the academic library buy two hospital-style sleeper armchairs for our study area? Why does the tiny public library offer a delivered book service for housebound patrons? When we set looser goals, we can embrace spontaneity and allow room for change. Jenica will discuss great projects and directions that can come about from focusing on “Library Self” instead of “Library Action.”
