Living Labs Libraries
Together with iMinds (now imec) Living Labs, we’ve researched the use of audiovisual material in libraries. Thirty per cent of our public libraries took part in the research.
We surveyed their library staff and came up with the following results:
Audiovisual material is mainly used during workshops and lectures.
Audiovisual material is mainly used at exhibitions and because it interests visitors.
Staff would like more attention to be paid to audiovisual materials in the library.
Staff’s wishes in relation to image and sound material are currently not always met.
We’ve also researched the functionality and arrangement of the future tool for libraries. This delivered some interesting lessons. Meemoo can provide added value in the areas of:
The informative function of the library
The expansion of the audiovisual range
Entertainment
Activities with local partners
Interesting visitors in borrowing materials and linking parts of the collection to each other.
Engagement among the visitors: appealing to and connecting visitors
Engaging study material
Addition of products, such as media literacy and promoting reading etc.
