The recent rapid changes led to a lot of frustration.
                      Change meant recreating instructions and starting over.




Friday, 5 April, 13
So our redesigns reflected the path of least resistance.
                                  We paved over the cow paths.




Friday, 5 April, 13
But still, a redesign was long overdue.




Friday, 5 April, 13
And now... today.

Our Focus




Friday, 5 April, 13

                       A value proposition that explains
                      the purpose of academic libraries.

Our Focus

We’ve heard this before.

A Brand New Start


Friday, 5 April, 13
If we remove the
                        shackles of the past,
                      what are the possibilities?
