Learn how speculative design and related disciplines like discursive design and science fiction can help us explore current approaches to library spaces, services, and technologies, uncovering assumptions about what
a library is and what a librarian does.
Engaging in arts-based research and research-through-design practices, we can develop objects and stories that act as prompts for discussion and debate about hypothetical, but perhaps possible, library futures.
Hear from a panel of library workers involved in these practices. Panelists contributed to the ALAO Technical, Electronic, and Digital Services SIG’s web-based project, Post-Pandemic Libraries. This project is the
result of the SIG’s yearlong exploration of speculative design and libraries.
Many thanks for your support,
Shannon
