I’ll admit, I’m not willing to go with you whole hog on modeling libraries after the Apple store, but I’m right there with you when you say we need to simplify our services, rethink what it means to be an organization (and change its structure!), and stop relying on vendors to design user experiences.

I work in an academic library that is still essentially structured the same way it was decades ago. This baffles me. How can we deliver effective services when we’re structured for the user of 10 years ago?

Great post!
