On a publicly placed magnetic board, patrons clustered library concepts and tasks into meaningful groups. A digital camera recorded the results, which were analyzed and applied during the library's Web redesign.

The participants worked in groups ranging in size from 1 to 4 students who may or may not have known each other before the project.
