Two different ways to engage our communities! Librarians from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising take a look at how retailers are using technology to create a unique shopping experience and bring customers through the door. Hear what has worked and what hasn’t, what’s new for 2013, and what you might be able to adapt to your library to delight customers. Accelerated by technology, driven by intrinsic motivation, and facilitated by communities built around shared interest, Hamilton discusses and provides examples of connected learning in the second presentation. He describes the model and roadmap for libraries to develop and support lifelong learners.
