Libraries and learning resource centres, second edition, examines trends in library design and discusses issues for architecture and library professionals involved in the design and management of libraries. Using case studies of recently constructed libraries from Seattle to Alexandria and Kyoto, the book explores the evolution of the library building - public, academic and professional. This book provides a guide to addressing key design issues surrounding the changing ways in which libraries are used, such as the digitization of knowledge and the impact of new technologies on reading and library practice. A library's design must also fulfill the necessity of storing information in a variety of forms and making it available in intellectually stimulating and user friendly surroundings. Libraries and learning resource centres provides a thorough examination of the changing needs of the library, its altered social role and its appeal to new users, and gives practical guidance on catering for these needs.
