    How about my book “The Customer-Focused Library: Re-Inventing the Public Library From the Outside-In”Libraries Unlimited, 2009? Understanding and viewing the library and its services through the prism of the customer is critical to developing the 21st Century Library!

    And Norman Oder’s LJ’s article “In the Country of Anythink” Nov 15, 2010 issue should be required reading.

    Just my 2 cents worth.
    Have a great Christmas holiday.
