About:

While the buzz around AI in libraries grows louder, sometimes the smartest technology isn’t artificial – it’s simply well-designed and reliable. The best library tech often goes unnoticed by patrons because it just works.

This SpringySession takes attendees behind the curtain of smooth, human-centered library experiences powered by Springshare’s intuitive tools like LibGuides, LibCal, LibMaps, LibSites, LibAnswers, and more. We’ll examine how human-centered platforms reduce friction, support equity, and scale services – all while respecting librarians’ expertise and preserving the library’s role as a trusted, human-driven institution. In a time when automation can overstep, Springshare tools help libraries remain accessible, adaptable, and deeply personal. Join us for a provocative look at why choosing proven, accessible tools matters more than chasing trends.

This 1-hour webinar will cover:

  • What "smart" tech really looks like for libraries
  • Mapping the user experience journey
  • Example scenarios – and their solutions
  • Tips for aligning Springy Tools to the UX journey
  • Time for Q&A
Registration has closed.
