| Summary |
The first edition introduced the busy library director to the overall process of working with architects and building committees and contained chapters on general design preparation and space requirements for library operations and services. The second edition updated the original work and addressed innovations in libraries and completely revised the chapter on special collections space. This third edition reorganizes and expands upon some of the topics touched upon in the second edition and also informs the reader about more recent design concepts based on student learning habits and evolving space requirements, such as "libraries without walls," and "libraries as placeholders." Today librarians, architects and interior designers must reexamine existing spaces to see how they can be improved to function better and attract more patrons. Libraries must become friendlier and use space more efficiently. These concepts, although not new, deserve more discussion, particularly among less well informed architects, deans and law school faculty. Readers will find refreshed materials in the appendices: an updated annotated bibliography, organized by chapter topic; an updated list of naming opportunities; additional suggestions for preparing a needs assessment, and a brief overview of past ABA design conferences.--Publisher |
