# Catching Glimpses of the Future of Libraries through Library User Studies

Studies of the work practices of faculty and students have led to significant improvement in the Libraries' services, web presence and facilities. This presentation includes examples of the anthropology-based methods used to study users, some of the major findings, and how libraries are adapting to the changing needs of their users.
