18. Topic Statement
• In everyday life, people are having intimate relationships
with their information-bearing objects. We keep these
objects close to us in ways corresponding with their use-
value and use-mode (medium).
• We as information professionals and future library leaders
should be aware of how our spaces we invite people to use
can be conducive to those visitors’ habits. Discovering how
each user physically and emotionally uses that information
in various objects will allow opportunities for innovation
and evolution in design and experience. Obviously.
• But: look to your own lives because you are a visitor too.
