resulting in a better user experience.

types of institutions, resulting in demonstrable improvements in service to
users.
Implementing new technologies to improve and extend library service to meet
user needs.
Explorations of the future of libraries.
Pilot testing unconventional ideas and services.
Redefining the roles of library staff to better serve users.
Developing processes that encourage organizational innovation.
Reaching out to and engaging library users and non-users in new and
creative ways.
Creative library instruction and patron programming.
Finding new ways to make library collections or library facilities more
useful to users.
