A locational analysis of academic library computer use
Autor: Weessies, Kathleen W 1 1 Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, USA
Informace o publikaci: Reference Services Review 39.3 (0, 2011): 465-481.
Odkaz na dokument ProQuest
Abstrakt: Purpose -- The purpose of this paper is to measure, characterize and correlate relationships between spaces within an academic library and the amount of use they receive from patrons. Design/methodology/approach -- Login data gathered from computers were analyzed spatially using AutoCAD and ArcGIS to characterize the relative popularity of each computer. The login data were correlated to each computer's proximity to the entrance, a picture window, its printer, quantity of neighboring computers, and service points. Findings -- Descriptive statistics reveal high usage of computers close to the entrance and close to service points. The strongest relationship of all was with a combination of attractors rather than any one attractor. Other measures were less closely correlated with usage, with proximity to window having little to no correlation. These hypotheses merit further study. Originality/value -- Understanding the use of technology in library spaces is important to inform future facility planning to meet patron needs. Adapted from the source document.

The Knowledge Centre and Library of the South Transdanublan Region, Pecs -- as Seen by the Architect

Abstrakt: While preparing the architectural plans the author as a designer of the Knowledge Centre, Pecs had an opportunity to arrange his previous considerations about libraries into a systematic concept. Although earlier he had a definite idea about libraries and was emotionally involved with the given district of the city, he could not for a long time identify points of connection to the city as a whole, either in intellectual or physical sense. He found that in addition to the library's inclusive, arranging and systematising role, some features of secondary importance had to be re-evaluated: today the library is a meeting point, a community place, a scene of the city's public life. The emblematic inner space of the new building, called Beehive, has become a symbol of the new building with its magnificent size and wonderful ceramics covering. The building wishes to be a place of acquiring solid knowledge and a house of creative imagination. Adapted from the source document.

Library space planning: a participatory action research approach
Autor: Somerville, Mary M 1 ; Brown-Sica, Margaret 1 Auraria Library, University of Colorado, Denver, Colorado, USA
Informace o publikaci: The Electronic Library 29.5 (0, 2011): 669-681.
Odkaz na dokument ProQuest
Abstrakt: Purpose -- Libraries required to accommodate new services within existing facilities can benefit from an inclusive planning approach which produces a design concept and project phases for repurposing space. In the process, organizational decision making can move from print-centered to program-driven through intention use of information to learn. This paper seeks to explore this issue. Design/methodology/approach -- Participatory action research (PAR) offers an action-oriented and learning-centered approach to (re)design of library facilities through an iterative plan-act-observe-reflect cycle. Auraria Library's culminating charette illustrates the efficacy of PAR principles and practices for repurposing library facilities in response to changing user demands. Findings -- Over an 18-month period, participatory action research activities fostered data collection and interpretation activities, preparatory to a two-day design charette conducted with and for members of campus constituencies. In addition to clarifying design elements for project phases with estimated budgets, the inclusive inquiry processes initiated campus relationships essential to successful project implementation. Research limitations/implications -- This research study reports the latest findings in a series of North American implementation projects begun in 2003. The most ambitious to date, it involves library staff and campus stakeholders in inclusive library redesign processes. Practical implications -- Amidst dynamically changing internal and external circumstances, libraries can employ participatory action research principles and practices to use information to learn. The Auraria Library example illustrates the transferability of using inclusive information-centered and learning-focused approaches for organizational direction setting. Social implications -- The purpose of the action-oriented and learning-focused approach is to engage participants in using information to learn. Participatory action research is therefore intrinsically emancipatory. Originality/value -- A paucity of professional literature on participatory action research exists in the library and information science field. Therefore, this contribution both offers a promising approach for collaborative decision making and fills a gap in the professional knowledge base. Adapted from the source document.

Big box libraries: beyond restocking the shelves with books
Autor: Lesneski, Traci 1 1 Meyer Scherer &Rockcastle, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA traci@msrltd.com
Informace o publikaci: New Library World 112.9-10 (0, 2011): 395-405.

Abstrakt: Purpose -- The purpose of this paper is to explore the opportunities, implications, and challenges of reusing big box retail stores for library facilities. Design/methodology/approach -- The paper's approach is research using the Wal-Mart Realty database, NCES data on public libraries, and recent research on suburban design issues, as well as first-hand accounts of successful conversions of big boxes into library facilities. Findings -- The research finds: a parallel between the three key objectives in planning a library facility -- location, size, and budget -- and the measures used by retailers to determine the presences of a big box retail store in a community; the size of big box retail stores often comparatively relates to the target library size of a community; renovating big boxes is an affordable alternative to building new library facilities; and reuse of big boxes for libraries requires reimagining the structure to convey the identity of the library in the community in order to be truly successful. Research limitations/implications -- There are few existing examples of big box conversions into library facilities. Practical implications -- The results encourage communities to explore the option of converting big box retail stores into libraries. Social implications -- Consideration of converting big boxes into library facilities enhances recycling and sustainable design awareness and brings focus to the concept of libraries as community centers. Originality/value -- The stock of empty big box buildings is increasing, at just a time when libraries are looking for ways to expand to accommodate new uses, service styles and user expectations. To date, very few of these buildings have been transformed into vibrant library buildings. This article examines the suitability of the big box for use as a library. Adapted from the source document.
