The document discusses how libraries can make their spaces work harder for users through flexibility, collaboration, and focusing on knowledge creation rather than just knowledge management. It provides examples of libraries that have recording studios, collaboration rooms, movable walls and furniture, and share spaces with other campus services. The keys to success are said to be involving users, and having flexibility through features like casters, grommets, movable walls and furniture, and ensuring adequate wireless connectivity no matter where items are moved. The future of libraries is seen as moving away from being just collections of books and more towards being spaces that facilitate knowledge sharing and creation.

Buildings and spaces: Are they relevant in the virtual environment?IFLA
This presentation covers library buildings, spaces and users in the current environment. It highlights how Singapore libraries have evolved and their approaches to library spaces.

Other libraries covered are National Library Board (Early Literacy Library), National University of Singapore (Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library), Nanyang Technological University, Temasek Polytechnic, Nanyang Polytechnic.
This presentation is part of the Executive Library Management Programme (ELMP) course by the Library Association of Singapore in August 2014.
Presentation to Sydney Institute TAFE librarians about what I think the future holds for libraries. In particular, I talk about the UTS model, but there are points here relevant to all libraries. Given 7 December 2010.
This session goes beyond surveys to look at creative ways to gather and present user input. Surveys are tried-and-true ways to gather input from constituents, but there are many other fun and creative ways to hear your users’ voices. From user diaries, to flipcarts and pens, time-lapse photography, and on-the-ground guerilla surveying using iPads, learn alternatives for gathering and presenting user input to make more informed decisions for your library.
Data you gather is just data until it is analyzed, interpreted, and conveyed in a meaningful way. With Google Analytics incorrect conclusions can be drawn without doing an in-depth analysis. Wisniewski provides a framework for accurately assessing the data to make informed design decisions in combination with other user tests, surveys and focus groups.
