Workshop #1 Recording:
Read Chapters 1-4
Find a collection or several collections you can use as the basis for the entire course.
Think about the makeup of the community; their needs, and what is currently happening to serve those needs during the pandemic.
Look at the library you are interested in, but also look at the other types of libraries in that community that are serving patron needs..
During the workshop, we will decide on the product of your investigation that will be due the week after our first workshop.
Our study will be part of the empathy step of design thinking.

What is design thinking? How is it different from traditional Inquiry done in libraries?
The objective: Create something that will benefit you personally as a collection and connection professional
Some possibilities to be determined over the next month:
Make the VL Guide even better
Dive into a major virtual literacy center
Build a micro credential as a Virtual Collection Manager.

Who are our potential patrons?
What are their characteristics?
Who darkens our doors?
Who doesn't and why not?
What is a needs assessment or curriculum study?
