The document discusses various "hacks" or ways to make libraries more productive, efficient, and appealing to modern students. It suggests bringing in content through APIs and RSS feeds, mashing up data through tools like maps and dynamic content, opening library content for patrons to remix through feeds and widgets, and putting the library out on popular sites like Flickr and Facebook to increase traffic. The goal is to make libraries more engaging for today's students who access information online and through social media.
