A LIBRARY INSTEAD OF A LAB: FORGING A SPACE PARTNERSHIP IN A NEW BUILDING

摘要

Our university library recently created a satellite bookless library in a science and engineering building. The library was a product of a need for student space and a conversation with our engineering and library deans. The facility was designed to be a model for an electronic library, focusing on student collaboration and research assistance. Many of our services remain the same as our main library. As we move forward, our assessment is to make the space more useable for students and to grow our presence in providing information literacy and research assistance with the students and faculty in this building complex, while our collection development goals will be to grow our electronic collections.
