Course Description
Service design is rapidly becoming one of the most popular assessment methods in the library profession. Building on the foundation and understanding of service design as learned in “Service Design: Towards a Holistic Assessment of Library Services,“ the “Working with Library Service Design Tools” class is a deep dive into working with library service design tools. Students will be introduced to service design tools that are not in other classes through articles and hands-on assignments. Over the course of 4 weeks, students will will learn about and use a new tool or technique (Service Design Blueprints, Prototyping for Services, Analysis and Synthesis, and Scenario/Expectation Maps) for each of the 4 weeks of this course. This course hopes to bridge the gap between introduction to library service design and for those students and researchers wanting to extend their service design knowledge through hands-on application of various service design tools. Prior knowledge of service design is not a requisite to taking this class.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Adapt tools to fit their research question
- Understand and determine best tool to use in a situation
- Feel confident working with tools such as Service Blueprints and Scenario/Expectation Mapping
- Find patterns and meaning through Analysis and Synthesis of research data
This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our Certificate in User Experience (UX), but can be taken as a stand-alone course as well.
