Abstrakt: The main library at the authors' university campus, with its large size and multiple-level structures, is challenging for patrons to navigate. Requests for directions are among the most frequently posed questions at help desks in this library. As a first step toward improving wayfinding aids, such as maps or signs, we took a spatial science perspective of combining spatial and behavioral approaches to reveal objectively areas where wayfinding problems occur. To this end, we employed formal spatial descriptions of the environment addressing visibility, layout complexity, and connectivity. The term coined in the literature for these methods is "space syntax." Additionally, we used a behavioral approach to investigate actual wayfinding behaviors of library patrons and compared these behaviors with the results of the space syntax analysis. The results show that a building's layout complexity and visual access potentially predicts how well patrons find their goals (books and other materials). Other aspects such as signs or individual characteristics of patrons were also found to play a role in understanding human wayfinding performance. The goal of this study was to broadly explore wayfinding problems in relation to the environment and to individual characteristics of patrons, such as their familiarity and sense of direction. Our approach introduces an objective perspective to assess wayfinding problems in libraries. Thereby, it provides potentially valuable information for library administrators towards the improvement of the design of library wayfinding systems. Adapted from the source document.

Abstrakt: The library staff at Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, LA was faced with the challenge of streamlining service points as well as renovating the Library when survey data revealed inefficiencies in service. Thus, in 2008 the University implemented the John B. Cade Library Enhancement Project, a U.S. Department of Education Title III initiative that funds relevant changes to the Library and updates to the Library's online presence. Library staff decided not only to prioritize the renovation of physical spaces in the Library, but also to transform the ways that they provide services to library patrons. Student feedback, the innovative ideas of Emma Bradford Perry, Dean of Libraries, and the results of Dawn Kight's participation in the HBCU Librarian Exchange Program together changed the way that service is delivered at the John B. Cade Library. Adapted from the source document.

Abstrakt: Dr. Ellis Beteck, Dean of the Frederick Douglass Library at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, came to the campus in January 2011 from Howard University, where he was Interim Director of the Health Sciences Library. After he arrived, Beteck discovered that library staff were receiving numerous complaints about noise levels in the library. When Beteck investigated the underlying problem, he realized that the noise came from students crowding around a laptop working on a project. Students did not have a space in the library to do their group work, Beteck explained. Therefore, Beteck and his staff set about creating collaborative and flexible meeting spaces in the library.

Abstrakt: Interest in the topic 'learning spaces at universities' has been consistently high in recent years. International concepts for Learning Commons and Learning Centers give an important impetus to this, but also cannot be directly transferred to German conditions. To document and evaluate the state of developments in Germany, the DINI-AG learning spaces started taking stock, bringing together the initiatives of the various service facilities at universities. This state-of-art report should contain as many practical examples, to depict the state of development and design of learning spaces in Germany. Adapted from the source document.

A Statement of the Book Culture: The New Stuttgart City Library to Form The Cultural Center of the Emerging European Quarter / Visiting the Prestigious Property

Odkaz na dokument ProQuest
Abstrakt: About 14 years ago, the Stuttgart Council in Germany took the decision of principle for the new building. But uncertainties about the building project Stuttgart 21 -- also the new library is located behind the main train station -- led to massive delays of the library building. The first completed building on the abandoned grounds was a state-of-the-art library which triggered discussions because of its architecture. After the opening, however, the media reports were mainly positive. In the new city library, the classic book culture is connected with the latest digital developments. The focus is the library as a place for the exchange of knowledge -- it is to make the cultural center of the emerging European quarter. Adapted from the source document.

Directions to Library Wayfinding: Directional and Information Signs Guide Patrons into and around the Library

Abstrakt: In architecture, wayfinding refers to how an individual orients himself and chooses paths within a built environment. One of the most important tools for wayfinding is signage. If there is one truism about library signage, it is that most of it is not very good. The first step to creating a good signage is to understand the mistakes that lead to bad signage. The backbone of signage in any building shoud be build on a unified architectural signage system that enhances wayfinding and identifies spaces within a facility. While Architects are expected to have control over building identification and regulatory signage, library staff should have considerable control regarding directional and informational signs. This article discusses three things to consider when it comes to directional signage and provides an overview on informational signage. Adapted from the source document.
