This book demonstrates how aesthetics, design elements, and visual
literacy can be implemented in the library to enhance spaces,
programs, services, instruction, and outreach so that your library
will appeal to all users. Libraries have come to accept that they
must rethink how they appeal to users, and harnessing the power of
design can be a powerful means for addressing the changing needs of
the community. Decker and Porter introduce "engaging design"-an
umbrella term that incorporates multiple design frameworks with a
focus on a three-prong approach: aesthetics, design thinking, and
service design. These frameworks can be used to guide design
choices that will aid in teaching and engaging current and
potential library users. In the course of a lively and interesting
narrative, Engaging Design introduces basic concepts of aesthetics
and good design and explores examples of its successful uses in the
academic, public, and special library. It provides simple steps for
implementing subtle, but powerful, techniques to improve
instruction, human-computer interaction, e-learning, public
services spaces, wayfinding signage, and all manner of library
programs, events, and services. In addition, the authors recommend
easy-to-implement best practices that will help librarians to
enhance library-goers' experience. Library administrators will also
look to this book for assistance in best addressing the needs of
the modern library user. Clearly explains how to recognize,
understand, and interpret basic design techniques Teaches
librarians how to attract and target their efforts towards specific
groups of library users Outlines principles of good design in
instruction programs, space planning and design tasks, outreach
initiatives, and other library programs and activities Offers
easy-to-follow steps to good design for wayfinding, instruction,
and library usage
