Catalog Pull Platform & Projects
About
Pull vs. Push Demand
Instead of trying to perfectly predict how patrons, staff, and institutional administration's demands for information resources and services, the catalog pull platform focuses on building fast, loosely coupled networked web tools that are iteratively developed using processes and techniques from AGLE and Lean startup's Build-Measure-Learn cycles (Ries, 2011).
In the Catalog Pull Platform is that sophisticated tools emerge over time starting with a Minimum Viable Product that is then incrementally improved with direct testing and feedback from the participants in the pull platform.
Critical to pull platforms is the idea that new ideas and experiments are encouraged with negligible barriers for use by participants and that these new ideas and processes are easily communicated to other participants in the platform.
