2. …You have to merge
I think really great
these points of view,
and you have to from
products come do it
in an interactive way of
melding two points
view—the technology
over a period of
point of view and the
time—which doesn't
mean a week. of
customer point
view. You need both.
It takes a long time to
pull out of just ask
You can't customers
what they really they
customers what
want, and it takes ato
want and then try
long time to pull out
give that them…
of technology what it
can really give.

Hypothesis:

by surfacing underused ‘long tail’
library materials through search
