If you are involved with library space planning, whether for a large or small project, I hope you’ll join my co-editors of the Designing Libraries for the 21st Century book, along with some of the chapter authors and myself, for a webinar series in February, 2023. Titled “Programming Library Spaces for Institutional Impact”, this is a fee-based series offered by our publisher, ACRL.
This webinar series includes 3 segments: Supporting Learning, Student Success, and Well-being; Enhancing Collaborative Research; and Focusing on Staffing and Organizations that will provide principles and examples of using library space to align with institutional goals and priorities. The series promotes the vision that only through integration of a program and organization/staffing structures within a new library space will the full potential of the space be realized. The webinars are not intended as a guide to planning new or renovated space, but an exploration of how spaces can advance the mission of teaching, learning, and research. The series will draw on some of the authors of the recently-released Designing Libraries for the 21st Century and update their observations, insights, and examples. Moderators and speakers will engage participants through structured and open discussion and chat.
