The study provides a highly detailed map of how academic libraries plan to re-orient and allocate their spaces over the next few years. It also takes a detailed look at plans for air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems, as well as other aspects of the library building physical plant. Participants evaluate their existing systems and discuss future needs and timetables in this area.The study also presents opinions on the likely path of the library capital budget, construction and renovation plans, and advice for peers on innumerable issues related to the library physical space and building.In addition, the report gives detailed data on the number of library visitors for 2019-20 and 2020-21 and estimates for 2021-22. As the pandemic persists, this much needed time series data gives librarians a sense of how fast their peers expect patrons to return to the library building, and what services they will use.Data in the report is broken out by size, type and tuition level of the colleges, and by other useful variables. Just a few of the report's many findings are that:Only 34% of libraries sampled expect no significant changes in how they use library stacks' space.5.1% of libraries sampled use the library roof for solar power production.21% of public college libraries sampled planned to increase access to outdoor space adjacent to the library.53% of research library participants felt that space reserved for use by library staff would decrease over the next few years.30.5% of community colleges felt that they would increase the amount of space used for fixed computer workstations over the next few years.

Book excerpt: "This report helps its readers to answer questions such as: How much have academic libraries increased or decreased space allocated to stacks in recent years? What are their plans for the future? If they have reduced space for stacks, for what have they used the newly available space? What are future plans for such space use? Exactly what is stored in the stacks? What percentage of total space is accounted for by books? By Journals? By audio/video media? By all other materials? How are libraries managing the stacks? How many full time and student employees do they use and what do they think of library patron skill in navigating the stacks? Or library skills for finding high use or other items? What about the college politics of the stacks – are college administrators pushing the library to make stack space available for new uses?" -- Site de l'éditeur.

Download or read book Copyright and Course Reserves written by Carla S. Myers and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the guidance of this book, academic librarians wishing to provide print, electronic, and streaming media (music and film) course reserve services for their campus communities can do so in compliance with U.S. copyright law. Many academic libraries offer print and electronic course reserve services that encourage learning by connecting students and faculty with less expensive and supplementary educational materials. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions regarding how U.S. copyright law affects course reserve services; as a result, many academic libraries restrict the scope of the services they provide or refrain from pursuing new options, such as media reserves, out of fear of violating the law or being sued for copyright infringement. Copyright and Course Reserves addresses this problem, providing authoritative advice for making print, electronic, and media course reserves available in compliance with U.S. copyright law. It explains options for implementing and sustaining media reserve services through which students and faculty can access online music, sound recordings, and film. Additionally, short examples from a wide range of libraries explore real-world scenarios and current issues related to course reserve services to help readers better understand and apply the information found in the book.
