The document discusses adopting a startup mindset for libraries. It describes how a workshop was held with librarians, developers and designers to discuss concepts like customer discovery, minimum viable products, and pivoting. The document suggests some of the concepts from startups, like building-measuring-learning rapidly, would be easier for libraries to implement than others that require more significant changes like focusing on value over features. Barriers to adopting a startup mindset include the need to incentivize staff and make fundamental changes to strategies.
