Streamlined Event-Organizing
with Microsoft Office 365
Streamlined Events-Organizing Process for King County Area Libraries with Office 365 Platform
OCT 2017 - MAR 2018
Overview
Although people tend to think of libraries just as venues for reading and studying, librarians spend 75% of their time doing community outreach work. librarians struggle to figure out how they could plan better events, attract the right audience, and accurately measure the outcomes.
In a team of 3, I designed an all-in-one platform that encompasses all steps of the events-organizing process. Leveraging with the powerful Microsoft Office 365 platform, our solution significantly reduces the manual work and provides valuable insights to librarians.

Process Deep Dive
Background
In today’s increasingly digitized world, public libraries want to engage with citizens through the help of modern technologies. Yet existing tools do not meet the ever-changing needs of events-organizing.
Librarians spend 75% of their time doing community outreach work. At the same time, librarians struggle to figure out how they could plan better events, attract the right audience, and accurately measure the outcomes.
How might we make the events organizing process easier for librarians?
To answer the question, we embarked a series research to understand more.
