Patron problem reports and access issues are obstacles that every Library is confronted with, large or small, public, academic, or special. But what turns these obstacles into opportunities? And how can, and should, customer feedback and complaints be used to improve local library processes and services? This talk will investigate ways in which the feedback provided through user problem reports can be used to improve local processes, and how one can begin to reframe this oft-overlooked library service as a vast and often untapped resource for improving library services overall. Our patrons are talking to us...are we listening?
