We’ve got answers on co-design here (and in our online course).
Co-design, short for collaborative design, is an approach to problem-solving that actively involves the community to develop solutions, products, or services. Why it works: Co-design is user-centered, so what you develop is more relevant, practical and effective. You get diverse perspectives, fostering creativity and innovation. The community involvement provides a sense of ownership by patrons. Co-design strengthens the relationship between the library and its community. Co-design allows for testing, feedback, and adaption—providing an evolved solution. Explore this effective and crucial method for developing your library services and learn how to implement it in our three-week online course Community Co-Design: How to Collaborate with Your Community starting February 25*. | 3-Week Online Course + Workshop Tuesdays, Feb. 25, Mar. 4 and 11 | 15 Credit Hours |
