Changing Models of Customer Service (Free webinar)

Changing Models of Customer Service (Free webinar)

This is a free webinar from the Utah State Library.

Customer service in libraries is transforming, from fixed hours with a physical location to 24 hour virtual services, from waiting in line at a service desk to having the library employee find the lost customer in the stacks, from being a repository for books to a distribution center for information in all types of format, and from being a place where entertainment and education is about reading to a site that hosts events and offers hands-on learning. Learn about trends that are impacting even the smallest libraries in more traditional communities.

Agenda

What is Changing, and Why?
Empathy: How We Treat People
A New Rulebook: Questioning Standard Policies
The Physical Environment: Moveable Walls
New Services: Library Surprises
Technology and the Library Without Walls
First Steps

Outcomes

Create new strategic goals to ensure your library stays relevant to community and institutional needs.
