ter positioned to adapt to rapidly changing environments and evolving user needs and behaviors. This guide shows how to draw from new approaches and technologies to harness experimentation as a tool for testing ideas and responding to change. It borrows ideas and inspiration from the startup sector to teach you how to take a human-centered and design thinking-based perspective on problem solving.

Coverage includes:

• why experimentation is possible on any budget and can be undertaken by anyone in any organisation.
• ways to foster a culture of experimentation which recognises the importance of incorporating curiosity into work and daily life.
• examples of experimentation from academic, public and school libraries as well as non-library settings.
• how to engage users in testing to identify the pros and cons of a prototype.
• guidance on employing IDEEA (Ideate, Design, Experiment, Engage, Assess) as a five-part process for trying out ideas by formulating prototypes.

This book is essential reading for library and information professionals who want to pioneer change and experiment in their library.
