embrace the social tools

On a limb:There is no scenario where public library circulation will increase.
![Page 33: Orla2012](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102813/547c164cb4af9fee468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Can we frame the e-book issue in libraries so that it can be addressed
rationally?
![Page 34: Orla2012](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102813/547c164cb4af9fee468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

So how must library strategies change?
![Page 39: Orla2012](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102813/547c164cb4af9fee468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
First:1. Focus on memberships and audiences
2. Then focus on penetration though engagement
3. Measure (and communicate) impact

Why do people ask questions?
Is your library experience conceptually organized around answers and programs?
Or collections, technology and buildings?

How do library databases and virtual services compare with other web experiences?
Who are our core virtual users? Are there gaps? Does learning happen? How about discovery? What are user expectations for true satisfaction? How does library search compare to consumer
search like Google and retail or government? How do people find and connect with library virtual
services? Are end users being successful in their POV? Are they happy? Will they come back? Tell a friend?
