When I talk with librarians about thinking of themselves as designers, sometimes they demur. "Designer? I cant even draw a stick figure!" But you dont need to. Whether you know it or not, youre already a designer.

Every time librarians create a bookmark, decide to house a collection in a new spot, or figure out how a new service
might work, theyre making design decisions. This is what I like to call design by neglect or unintentional design. Whether library employees wear name tags is a design decision. The length of loan periods and whether or not you charge fines is a design decision. Anytime you choose how people will interact with your library, youre making a design decision. All of these decisions add up to create an experience, good or bad, for your patrons.

The secret here is not to think of library patrons, users, or customers: we need to think of people. We need to consider their lives and what theyre trying to accomplish. This act, which can only be done by cultivating the skill of empathy, is the most important ? and perhaps the most difficult ? part of user experience design.
