On-demand, self-paced course | Registered participants have access for 6 months

Revolutionize your approach to user-centered services by implementing co-design practices in your library.

Co-design, also known as participatory design or co-creation, is a process that brings together designers and end-users to collaboratively develop solutions, products, or services. Co-design is crucial for library programs and outreach because it places the patrons and community at the center of development and decision making, ensuring that their perspectives, experiences, and needs inform the final outcome. In this fully self-paced, interactive online course, you will gain the knowledge and practical skills needed to engage with patrons, stakeholders, and community members to rebalance power dynamics and collaboratively shape your library’s services, programs, and outreach.

Join us and learn how co-design – based in empathy, iteration, and multidisciplinary collaboration – can help you create programs and outreach strategies that have tangible impacts in the communities you’re intending to serve.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the foundations of co-design.
  • Understand how co-design can be applied to libraries.
  • Acknowledge implicit bias throughout your co-design process.
  • Know tactics to gather community interest and input.
  • Use data to understand and reach your community.
  • Understand methods for enacting co-design.
  • Establish appropriate metrics for evaluating success.
