Strategic Planning FTP Objecitves_v1 <br />July 30, 2012 <br />Leslie Dinauer, Adrienne Gass, Aimee Schumm <br />Goal: Foster Technological Proficiency <br />The library strives to keep pace with the advancing technological needs of both <br />patrons and staff in order to best execute its mission to inform, involve, and inspire. <br />Objectives: <br />Maintain a virtual branch presence: The LPL will create and maintain a virtual <br />branch. More than a website, the virtual branch will provide interactive services <br />over the internet, such as chat reference, functional mobile apps (e.g., Boopsie), and <br />social media platforms. <br />Digital media lab: Explore possibility of digital media that will enable users to self - <br />publish and to creatively express themselves through digital video, music, <br />photography, websites, graphic design, podcasts, presentations, and other forms of <br />digital media. <br />Provide technology education: The LPL will become the educator of choice when <br />patrons seek to learn the technologies available both in the digital media lab, and in <br />the community. The LPL will also train staff at least once per month on new <br />technologies in their workplace so that they can not only answer patron questions, <br />but also perform most effectively. <br />Increase the diversity of media lending: The LPL will increasingly lend diverse <br />media, not only for book replacement (e.g., Nooks, Kindles), but also for to meet <br />community needs (e.g., laptops, LCD projectors). <br />
