"Libraries as Place" is certainly a common theme being studied in many libraries around the globe these days. Many reasons contribute to that and include how collections are taking a different shape as they become increasingly electronic and the physical collection space shrinks; collaboration among users is becoming a more active engagement and the library is a place of choice of where to meet and discuss scholarship, research projects, seek information, etc.; instruction is a paramount activity in academic libraries and in addition to group meeting space, there is the need for classes to come and meet with librarian instructors.
