Chapter 1. What Is a Library Engagement Platform?

Abstract

People want connection. A company or a library trying to position itself as a new best friend can come across as fake. But giving people a little nudge shows they are on your radar and is OK—in fact, it’s an important aspect of doing business online. Chapter 1 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 58, no. 1), “What Is a Library Engagement Platform?” presents definitions of library engagement platforms in the context of this report and describes the activities these platforms typically make available in their functionality.
