Abstract

In this paper we discuss how users may be involved in the ideation phase
of innovation. The study compares the use of a blog and three future
workshops (students, employees and a mix of the two) in a library. Our
study shows that the blog is efficient in giving the users voice whereas the
mixed workshop method (involving users and employees) is especially
good at qualifying and further developing ideas. The findings suggest that
methods for involving users in ideation should be carefully selected and
combined to achieve optimum benefits and avoid potential disadvantages.
