With the surge in electronic access to the library's resources,
there has been an ongoing discussion about the need for a physical
library building. On a college or university campus, the library is
a destination for its users. Students, faculty and staff go to the
library for various reasons. Their usage makes the academic library
a valuable learning space on campus. However, not much is known
about how the library space contributes to user learning. In
Assessing Library Space for Learning, chapters discuss library
usage at academic institutions and how that usage is an integral
part of the student learning experience. Included are the
perspectives of an architect who is tasked with designing library
spaces with learning in mind, a psychologist whose professional
research focuses on the concept of place, and a dynamic group of
academic librarians who are dedicated to making the library
conducive to the needs of their learners. This book is a
combination of theory, practical and research based chapters with
an overall focus on the intersection of library space and learning.
The authors demonstrate the importance of the library space in our
users' lives. In addition, the authors discuss the importance of
determining ways to learn how library space contributes to user
learning. Readers will gain an understanding of the library space
as a valuable learning space and the steps librarians need to take
to assess learning in the academic library.
