Book excerpt: This report looks closely at college plans to restructure or alter space use in college libraries. The 190+ page study gives detailed data on college library plans to increase or decrease space for various departments and purposes, how they plan to develop and deploy their capital budgets, which types of projects and purposes are favored for the near future. The report helps librarians to answer questions such as: How many workstations will libraries deploy? Will the number increase or decrease? What about space allocated to information commons? Or to classroom space? What about office space? Collection space? Space for special collections? The report helps its end users to stay on the cutting edge, to find out what library planners are hoping to achieve in the near future. The study also looks at budgets for repairs, and for major renovations and gives data for overall budgets and on a per student enrolled basis. Data in the study is broken out by size and type of college, with separate data for community colleges, research universities, 4-year colleges and those non-research universities that grant MA/PhD degrees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study - the fifth in the series - examines how academic libraries are altering their spaces and space allocation to meet the demands of the pandemic era and its aftermath. Based on data from 59 academic libraries, the 155-page comprehensive report presents unique data on library plans for space for workstations, special collections, the stacks, multimedia collections, classroom space, information commons, group workrooms, information technology centers, storage and even accessible roof space, cafes and outdoor spaces. The study provides a highly detailed map of how academic libraries plan to re-orient and allocate their spaces over the next few years. It also takes a detailed look at plans for air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems, as well as other aspects of the library building physical plant. Participants evaluate their existing systems and discuss future needs and timetables in this area.The study also presents opinions on the likely path of the library capital budget, construction and renovation plans, and advice for peers on innumerable issues related to the library physical space and building.In addition, the report gives detailed data on the number of library visitors for 2019-20 and 2020-21 and estimates for 2021-22. As the pandemic persists, this much needed time series data gives librarians a sense of how fast their peers expect patrons to return to the library building, and what services they will use.Data in the report is broken out by size, type and tuition level of the colleges, and by other useful variables. Just a few of the report's many findings are that:Only 34% of libraries sampled expect no significant changes in how they use library stacks' space.5.1% of libraries sampled use the library roof for solar power production.21% of public college libraries sampled planned to increase access to outdoor space adjacent to the library.53% of research library participants felt that space reserved for use by library staff would decrease over the next few years.30.5% of community colleges felt that they would increase the amount of space used for fixed computer workstations over the next few years.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "seamless approach" is the best strategy for planning additions to existing academic library buildings. Additions to existing library buildings are becoming a fact of life at many colleges and universities. Space considerations, the need for proximity to existing space, and the desire for a unified appearance usually preclude designing a totally new structure in many cases. So adding on to existing space is not only the best option for many academic libraries; it's the only one. The Catch-22 is that there is usually little to be gained by attempting to impose a too-modern structure on existing buildings. The solution is a seamless approach that incorporates and enhances the features of existing structures. The result is usually a functional and appealing addition, rather than a design that meets space needs but looks like an afterthought. Using case studies, Planning Additions to Academic Library Buildings profiles three academic libraries that went through expansion. The editors and authors clearly describe both the challenges and the opportunities for planning seamless and successful additions to existing buildings. Photos and architectural plans and layouts effectively illustrate how the challenges of adding on to existing structures were met in three different situations. Planning library additions can be a daunting proposition for many librarians, who are forced to become space planners and architects. This readable and well-illustrated book clearly and cleverly outlines the steps and the success stories of those who have lived the experience of designing a seamless library addition.

Book excerpt: Libraries today are faced with rapidly shifting populations of users with differing needs, who require a range of new communications links that are transforming our concept of the library space. This developing role has created a set of new and complex challenges for those delivering library services. There is no such thing as the 'perfect' library building. However, a well designed building will enable a project both to gain local acceptance more easily and to ease the process of securing planning permission. It also needs to be cost effective to run, support the organization's objectives well, offer an improved service to the user and make an impact on the community. This much-needed book takes as its starting point the fact that few architects know very much about libraries, and fewer librarians know about architectural planning and designing. It steers a clear path for library managers through the language and processes that they need to understand as members of a team overseeing the planning of a new library building project, major refurbishment or remodelling of an existing library. Key topics include: twenty-first century libraries developing a business case project management the design/project team selecting an architect partnership and community engagement the design brief design quality space planning and access occupancy and post-occupancy evaluation building libraries for the future. Appendices offer top tips and checklists, together with a glossary of common terms used within the construction environment to help further de-mystify the design process for librarians. Readership: This practical and accessible book is an invaluable guide not only for new entrants to the library profession, but also for experienced practitioners who are approaching for the first time the important task of creating a new library or major refurbishment of existing facilities. It will also be of great relevance to architects unfamiliar with library building requirements.

Book excerpt: Planning a new or refurbished public library means considering not only facilities for collections, services, staff and users, but examining also the local context, reviewing the library image, and developing relationships with other community facilities and agencies. This book examines the entire gamut of challenges confronting the planning and development of contemporary public libraries; their mission, their roles, and key issues such as lifelong learning, social inclusion, community and cultural needs, regeneration and funding. The helpful presentation and readable style guides the librarian through the preliminary information-gathering and decision-making process that ensures a successful library building for all concerned. Using practical case studies, plans and photographs, the author tackles the critical issues of siting, size, plans and design concepts, and provides a helpful guide to weighing up the alternatives of refurbished, converted and new buildings. Separate chapters focus on the planning, briefing and construction process; security, safety and sustainability; key characteristics of successful buildings; identity, decor and signage; and interior layout and facilities. The text draws together a vast resource of real library examples from all over the world which provide best practice models and lessons to learn. For funding authorities, librarians and architects of public libraries this is a highly informative book that will help to ensure wise decision-making and prevent costly mistakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exhaustive study, based on data from 44 colleges and universities, presents a broad range of data and commentary about how academic libraries have altered their use of space in the past three years, and how they plan to alter it in the future. Among the many issues discussed are uses of space for patron seating, workstations, information commons, group and personal work rooms, classrooms, special collections, meetings and performances, special technology equipped rooms, energy saving technology, roof gardens and much more. The study also looks at overall budget trends in the capital spending and at spending on and results of major redesigns. The 230+ page analysis also looks at general capital spending on information technology, new buildings and other forms of capital expenditures by academic libraries, in addition to exploring the sources and prospects for funding new library capital spending initiatives. Data in the report is broken out by size and type of institution, for public and private institutions, and by level of tuition, among other variables. Just a few of the report's many findings are that: 27% of the surveyed libraries plan to decrease their book collection spaces by greater than 10% and another 39% of the firms by less than 10%. Only 7% of all the libraries in our sample plan an increase in their book collection spaces to any degree and 25% plan no changes over the next three yearsOf all the libraries the sample 61% reported no planned changes to their special collections spaces for the next three years. More than 27% of sampled libraries report planned expansions and the remaining 9.1% will shrink this space allocation.The mean percentage of all library patrons that use their own computing device in the library was 57%. Community colleges lagged other types of colleges; only a mean of 19% of community college students used their laptops or other portable computing devices in the library to access library resources.

This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information society and the information age are changing library services as well as library premises. This raises questions about what needs to be considered when planning and designing new library buildings in order to achieve attractive, efficient and future-oriented new library spaces. This new publication provides information and guidelines for the building planning process, whether you are planning a new public or academic library building. It reflects on fundamental issues, on new development trends and on the planning process. The library building process is seen from both the library manager's perspective as well as that of the architect and designer. Issues covered include what to consider when investigating the need for space, library design from a marketing viewpoint, green management and sustainability relating to library buildings and a layman's guide to reading plans. This publication and the IFLA guidelines provided are not seen as a traditional set of recommendations to be rigidly adhered to since this would be unrealistic in a fast-changing and global context. Rather, library managers and architects should read them in order to inform their thinking on key issues and establish a planning programme. They must then relate them to their own countries and circumstances by making the relevant local adjustments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges are a cornerstone of higher education and serve the unique needs of the communities in which they reside. In 2019, community colleges accounted for 41 percent of all undergraduate students in the United States. Community college librarians are engaged in meaningful work designing and delivering library programs and services that meet the needs of their diverse populations and support student learning. The Community College Library series is meant to lift the voices of community college librarians and highlight their creativity, tenacity, and commitment to students. The Community College Library: Assessment explores the research, comprehensive plans, and new approaches to assessment being created by community college librarians around the U.S. Chapters include sample activities and materials and cover topics including assessing student learning while shifting from Standards to Framework; investigating and communicating library instruction's relationship to student retention; and building librarian assessment confidence through communities of research practice. This book demonstrates the innovative and replicable ways community college librarians are measuring, evaluating, and reflecting on the services they provide, and how to use these assessments to demonstrate the value and impact of library services and advocate for resources.
