Changing someone's impressions can take a long time. When faced with the idea of a library, many people imagine buildings, books, quiet spaces where people come to read. But we are well into the 21st century and, "it just ain't so." There is far more richness in what a library offers. To help update impressions, an entrepreneurial colleague advised me, "sell your product.",
Our products relate to linking ideas expressed in information with people open to inquiry. Our products simplify navigating information resources, accelerate learning, and build communities around inquiry and scholarship. A major resource the Drexel Libraries has to advance these is its intelligence, embedded in its staff.
