The LibX project was launched in Fall 2006 to provide libraries worldwide with the ability to integrate librarians and their services into users’ webflow, providing help with information seeking and discovery at the point of need. In early 2013, the leading faculty on the LibX project developed a real time visualization of user activity in Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University’s discovery system. This presentation will discuss how disruptive organizational change at the University Libraries and strategic collaboration across the University has lead to rapid, successful technology innovation that benefits the development and adoption of new services in libraries.
