User Services

Information and technology services for an institution’s user community are in a state of flux due to innovations in technology, such as the growth of the use of mobile devices to access information and due to changes in user expectations and skills. Developing an array of in-person and virtual services to meet users’ needs is challenging.

CNI’s program highlights innovative programs, helps our members understand today’s users’ needs, and provides information about various types of needs assessment and program assessments related to new services.
