    This project was completed as part of a year-long partnership between Scott County and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). The goal of this project was to assess the feasibility of the open self-serve libraries model for implementation in Scott County. Scott County project lead Kristy Rieger collaborated with students in a course at St. Catherine’s University taught by Dr. Anthony Molaro, LIS 7700. Three student teams analyzed different aspects of potential implementation through conducting a survey of residents, and exploring marketing strategies to effectively communicate the open library model to the public. Final reports and presentation slides from the student teams are available.
