The information society and the information age are changing
library services as well as library premises. This raises questions
about what needs to be considered when planning and designing new
library buildings in order to achieve attractive, efficient and
future-oriented new library spaces. This new publication provides
information and guidelines for the building planning process,
whether you are planning a new public or academic library building.
It reflects on fundamental issues, on new development trends and on
the planning process. The library building process is seen from
both the library manager's perspective as well as that of the
architect and designer. Issues covered include what to consider
when investigating the need for space, library design from a
marketing viewpoint, green management and sustainability relating
to library buildings and a layman's guide to reading plans. This
publication and the IFLA guidelines provided are not seen as a
traditional set of recommendations to be rigidly adhered to since
this would be unrealistic in a fast-changing and global context.
Rather, library managers and architects should read them in order
to inform their thinking on key issues and establish a planning
programme. They must then relate them to their own countries and
circumstances by making the relevant local adjustments.
