The digital world enables people to connect globally to create and disperse information quickly. In this fast-paced environment more businesses and institutions are looking for creative individuals with an understanding of the design-thinking paradigm. Because we live in a fast-paced world, designers and educators have used the design-thinking paradigm to create, edit, and revise digital objects to meet the demands for quick turnover. Regarding scholarship, the Internet has enabled scholars to publish their materials online. Some choose to publish their work in Open Access (OA) journals so that their scholarship reaches a broader audience because the journals are free to the public.

Design thinking is an innovations process.
Philology in the Making
by
Philological practices have served to secure and transmit textual sources for centuries. However, this volume contends, it is only in the light of the current radical media change labeled the ?digital turn? that the material and technological prerequisites of the theory and practice of philology become fully visible. The seventeen studies by scholars from the universities of Budapest and Cologne assembled here investigate these recent transformations of our techniques of writing and reading by critically examining core approaches to the history and epistemology of the humanities. Thus, a broad praxeological overview of basic cultural techniques of collective memory is unfolded.
Design Thinking
by
The Library Futures Series continues with this primer on design thinking, broadly defined as an approach to problem solving which prioritizes empathy with and deeper understandings of users to define a problem; actively engages in prototyping to develop solutions; and iterates solutions through implementation and resulting modification. Clarke, a researcher whose work has systematically examined the capacity of design thinking to revolutionize LIS education and the exploration of diverse library reading materials, guides readers through this trend. After introducing the concept, she outlines the steps of the design thinking process model. She then shares various examples of design projects in libraries, illustrating how design thinking extends beyond just space planning or website design and is applicable to all library products and services. She also demonstrates the ways in which design can either enable or stifle such foundational library values as intellectual freedom and access. Concluding with a rousing call to action for all librarians to recognize their positions as designers, this book will encourage readers to recognize how design thinking can empower libraries. Learn more about the Library Futures series, presented by ALA Neal-Schuman in partnership with the ALA's Center for the Future of Libraries.
Design Thinking for Innovation
by
This book presents the full scope of Design Thinking in theory and practice, bringing together prominent opinion leaders and experienced practitioners who share their insights, approaches and lessons learned. As Design Thinking is gaining popularity in the context of innovation and information management, the book elaborates the specific interpretations and meanings of the concept in different fields including engineering, management, and information technology. As such, it offers students and professionals a sourcebook revealing the power of Design Thinking, while providing academics a roadmap for further research.
