Jesus Espinoza - Interlibrary Loan in the ever-changing Academic Library - BO...BOBCATSSS 2017
This document discusses how interlibrary loan (ILL) departments in academic libraries have been impacted by ebooks and shrinking collections. It notes that libraries have less ability to lend ebooks from their collections. The Occam's Reader platform enables some ebook lending between libraries. Open access materials have increased ILL requests as patrons seek materials libraries may not own. The UC Santa Cruz library increased ILL usage through outreach and marketing, including at orientations and library events. Overall libraries need more ebook lending options and collaboration to meet patrons' information needs in the digital environment.
This document provides instructions for Architecture Design Studio 1 Project 3, which asks students to design a "dreamspace" or hideout for a predetermined user. The space must fit within given dimensions on an empty lot between two existing buildings. Students must consider the user's personality, body type, activities and needs to design an attached interior space. The project involves developing a narrative about the user, exploring design concepts, and presenting final plans, sections, perspectives and a 1:50 scale model showing how the hideout integrates with the site and buildings. Submissions will be evaluated based on functionality for the user, form articulation, quality of drawings and models, and evidence of the design process.
This document discusses interior architecture and design. It introduces the group members and tutor for the "SHOE SIZE" presentation. It then defines interior architecture as the design of spaces defined by structural boundaries and human interaction within them.

It was officially opened in 2006 as part of a brand new university in the city with the two Singapore cultural icons on each side, the Singapore Art Museum and the Singapore National Museum overlooking the Campus Green with its heritage trees. The six storey building houses the library that occupies four storeys, with levels one and two housing various businesses, cafes and restaurants and other campus facilities. The growth in student numbers coupled with the changing needs and expectations of today’s student population and the outdated design features have prompted the library and the university management to begin a master planning exercise. The scope of the master planning process and the journey itself presented both expected and unexpected outcomes in terms of raising awareness of space use, realignment of library operations, user involvement, service re-design, multi-purpose spaces usable by a variety of user groups, commercial use of spaces, fund raising, and political and strategic alliances across the university

This document discusses the impact of digital technologies on library buildings and collections. It notes that libraries must accommodate growing collections and technologies while making efficient use of limited space. A digital library contains electronic resources like e-publications, databases, and multimedia available over a network. The revival of interest in library building design is due to factors like the shift from print to digital documents and an expanded educational and community role. Effective library building design considers collection needs, user seating and technology, while ensuring functionality, adaptability, safety, and suitability for information technologies.
Transforming our collections: How we reviewed over 1 million items in five ye...ALISS
Paper by Paul Johnson – Head of Collections and Space Claire Cannings – Collections Project Co-ordinator, University of Reading for the ALISS 2012 xmas conference
Sustainability is a key factor in the UCD strategy. UCD Library, working with UCD Estates on large and small scale projects, have successfully contributed to this strategy.
This talk will look at a range of UCD Library refurbishment projects, some completed and others underway. Planning decisions are framed by what will deliver the best value and least environmental impact over the whole lifespan of the project, rather than taking a short term focus on lowest initial capital cost. Our goal is to minimise the negative environmental impact of the refurbishment by utilising energy-saving technologies that materially impact on the performance of the building ( glazing, acoustic treatments, LED lighting), and by giving careful consideration to the removal of existing materials (shelving, curated collections, furniture etc.) and the impact of disposal through recycling, reuse or up-cycling.
The second part of our talk will give a general overview of the work of the Library Green Group, looking at staff involvement in projects, the creation of the LIbrary Green Guide, promotion of green initiatives and collaborations with our UCD campus partners. This Group, set up in 2019 , continues to identify ways to raise environmental awareness among UCD Library staff, to place increased focus on recycling opportunities, to identify opportunities to become more energy efficient and to seek across campus collaboration to assist in achieving identified goals. Green initiatives include the Learning Enhancement Project, the pollinator plan/wildflower meadow, installation of LED lights, the introduction of water fountains and efforts to increase staff/student green education.
Pfau Long Architecture hosted a workshop at CAIS 2016 on learning commons. The workshop focused on how educators and designers are working toward a common goal of how to evolve a traditional study space for learning. The learning commons concept is becoming increasingly widespread for libraries at public and independent schools as well as colleges and universities. One of the drivers of adopting a learning commons approach is to mirror the real world by encouraging a more hands-on approach to research and problem solving.

The authentic research experience: UCD Special Collections in the BA HumanitiesUCD Library
This document summarizes a module in the BA Humanities program at University College Dublin that incorporates the university's Special Collections. The module aims to develop students' critical thinking, research, teamwork, and presentation skills through hands-on research projects using primary sources from the Special Collections. Students work in groups to research and create digital exhibits on assigned topics, using sources from the Collections. The module is delivered over 11 weeks through lectures, tutorials, and assignments. While challenging due to its scale and interdisciplinary nature, preliminary reviews found the module strengthened students' research, analytical, and primary source literacy skills.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Editor's Notes
higher footfall in Irish univ than in USADipped for a few yrs, now on the rise againDesigned in 2 phases - by J Hardie Glover
Boom to bustEarnings fell / gross domestic product2010 European University Association report looking at the effects of the recession on universities in Europe, singled out Ireland as one of the hardest-hit countries, with reductions in higher educational funding, over 2009/2010 of 15%. Not a lot of refurbishment /redesign development – although Escalators , wiring etc. doneNew position – building – higher agendaNetworking – B&S
Elevator pitch Buildings & ServicesUnderstanding user needs - Visits to other libraries – USA, Australia, UK, Ireland. Local reasoning group room usage / researchLibQual - assessment tool to establish user satisfaction - recent survey Ireland -users believe we are not meeting their minimum standards which it comes to the library buildings, lowest preforming question within the core questions, was dissatisfaction with “quiet space for individuals” Newman / Joyce bigger project – voice at the table – experience/competencies accepted, soughtImpact short term and long term projects Influencing future change – tied in with credibility - local and univ wide. Knowing who you need to talk to - with own library colleagues; With B&S; senior management in university; policy around supported learning spaces rather than satellite development in random areas – punters move to new spaces; visitors to space from Irish libraries; recently in Guardianwitness share your library photographs – new spaces/uses Just do it
Timing – had to do it when B&S thinking about own spend…Architect is critical to successAlways more work to be done – clearing spaces ; Summer time – holidaysChanging the brief – size of space to be developedChange in budgetChoosing furniture – decide what will work – then cant afford it ; not available in colour scheme Fitting in with other units timelines; Negotiations….

http://www.reddyarchitecture.com/Great working relationship with Architects . Communication very important. Highly recommend companyTotal commitment, listened to brief, creative and innovative. Pivitol to success
Living with risk, and taking chances with design and colour, knowing it can be changed if it doesn’t work is part of the process and one we embraced. Cant keep everyone happy – academic who said it was too young for him !!Colours we used in State library in NSW Australia
As we are simultaneously involved in planning a vision document for the much larger refurbishment project mentioned above, the design brief also emphasised the need for future space planning, and to develop movable elements that could be re-configured or repurposed to meet future needs. We wanted spaces to have a high level of flexibility and convertibility - an aspect lacking in the current library.No project happens in isolation – beware of knock on work busy summer - negotiating /moving 90% staff to alternative office spaces, compacted xxx meters of shelving, weeded, relocating a general reference collection, refurbishing Special Collections reading room, Projects = new social learning space; new office spaces for some staff; refurbished locker rooms; extra collections storage space; wall panels and signage, and clearing and refreshing the foyer area. (Images of crates/ moves)
Social learning space: very aware that more learning is taking place outside of class room, increased emphasis on group work / “team based learning”. We had no informal spaces for this type of work in the Library. limited number of group study rooms - continuously in use - had to be booked in advance. Originally looking at smaller size spacePoint out : Views of lake..Use of circlesDesks around pillars – where power located
Coveted spaceMuch argument over time re who uses it /how its used… who decides? Same tables!

Special CollectionsAs a physical space, UCD Library continues to serve the traditional function of providing access to collections, but the nature of those collections is changing and a higher proportion of our holdings become distinguished for their rarity and their historical importance, and so more materials fall into the category of “Special Collections”. renovated Special Collections Reading Room, upgrading the office area, expanded seating capacity for readers of UCD Library's rare and unique holdings,reading area a far more congenial place for consultation of valuable materials. Small exhibitions are now held in this space also.

Because of required location….
Phase 2Had established our rep. late Nov 2012, approached by UCD Buildings & Services to discuss the opportunity for the Library to house, temporarily, the university’s Maths Support Unit. This proposal fitted in with our aim to continue the redevelopment of level 1, and to develop multi-purpose learning spaces /rooms, located in centralised visible locations, for use as social learning spaces, for exhibitions, career fairs, book launches; and also where learning support services could book the use of this space for their users.
Opening day – publicity – gift for first user…
Art in spaces: We are now using more colour and art work in library spaces to improve the aesthetic feel of the library and create environments that are pleasant, inviting and inspiring to work in.
