Architecture is the art of spaces. The human feelings were influenced by architectural
space from time to time. Relating to the design of a history museum, it could evoke a
certain feeling or memory of a historical event. This dissertation focuses on the
influence of architectural space over period of times.
A theoretical as well as practical key issue in the design of museum and galleries is how
the layout of space interacts with displays to create a specific effect, express the intended
message to visitors. This dissertation aims to capture and represent the history of
mankind’s understanding of space in the design of an architectural building.
Abqla 20130507 j mc kenna assessment of library space postingABQLA2013
This document provides an overview of Julie McKenna's presentation on assessing library space at the ABQLA conference in Montreal. Some key points:
1. Library space assessment is important to understand how users interact with resources and services and to inform planning and management.
2. Traditionally, decisions were made based on assumptions rather than facts, but a culture of assessment uses research and data.
3. Effective space assessment considers the library's mission and users, and uses both quantitative and qualitative methods like surveys, observations, and space criteria.
Challenges of collection management: analysis staffing and space NASIG
Academic libraries with collections of all sizes face limitations of space, staffing, budget, etc., but still must maintain their collections responsibly. Collection maintenance with the goal of reclaiming space requires both solid data analysis and staff to execute projects. Presenters with perspectives from three different institutions will discuss their experiences in facing the challenges of analyzing data and managing workflows for current and potential removal projects.

The Dawe Branch of the Red Deer Public Library in Alberta, Canada has successfully operated as both a school and public library within a community centre setting. It provides library services for local schools as well as the surrounding community of over 50,000 residents. By taking a community development approach and focusing on partnerships, the library has been able to meet the diverse needs of its patrons. Some keys to its success include formal agreements between partners, co-sponsored programs with community groups, and offering popular activities like reading programs, repair cafes, and Lego building that engage the whole community.
The document discusses assessing library spaces through surveys and inventories. It describes the ARL Facilities Inventory that collects data on library spaces, including number of seats, square footage, and funding. Preliminary results show wide variations in spaces across libraries. Assessment can help libraries improve processes, inform planning, and advocate for resources by showing space needs. Examples demonstrate how assessments of quiet study space needs convinced administrators to allocate more funding.
The document outlines the outreach programs of the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library. It discusses how the library provides outreach services to various groups in the community including children, teens, adults and seniors. Examples of outreach activities are a traveling storyteller program, visits to daycare facilities and schools, and book discussion programs. The document provides guidance on starting an outreach program, including identifying community needs, partners, programming ideas, and addressing potential issues.

What is Q Method? Not widely known in the library field yet, this is a research method that lets you reach out to patrons in a new way to get their opinions on your services, materials, and/or programming. After developing a set of ideas you want to get feedback on from your community, you might be tempted to try sending out a survey and asking people to rate everything on a scale from one to five. But this is boring! And the results are ultimately not as useful as they could be in helping you to make decisions. Q Method is a forced-ranking process, where your patrons have to make decisions about things they like more and like less. Then you run everything through a statistical program, and end up with reams of interesting and useful data you can use to impress your stakeholders with all your evidence-based decision making!

This document summarizes a panel discussion on succession planning and lessons learned from new depository coordinators. The panelists discussed their experiences transitioning into the role of depository coordinator. They emphasized the importance of planning ahead, capturing institutional knowledge, and identifying resources and allies to help with the transition. Recommendations included sharing important documents and projects, establishing an orientation plan, developing succession plans, preserving tacit knowledge, taking advantage of technology, managing changes in leadership, keeping leadership informed, and asking questions. The panelists stressed that no two situations are the same and highlighted the value of resources like listservs, conferences, and blogging to help new coordinators learn and grow in their roles.
The document discusses the future of reference collections in libraries. It outlines that reference collections traditionally included dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other resources for quick fact-checking, but users now prefer electronic versions. This poses issues for libraries in maintaining both print and digital formats with limited budgets. The document also notes that reference sections have become neglected and outdated. It suggests libraries develop collection policies to guide updating reference materials in electronic or print.
Lynn Sutton discusses the future of books, libraries, and how libraries can remain relevant. She notes that digital content like journals, newspapers, books, and media are increasingly accessed online rather than in print. Libraries must adapt by becoming places for teaching, technology leadership, intellectual partnerships, and community. The Z Smith Reynolds Library aims to succeed in this mission by embedding library services in classes, hosting lectures and symposiums, and sponsoring programs that bring students to the library for fun activities to make it a happy place to work and study.

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.

42. What We Learned
• Be flexible. Project timing will ebb and flow.
• Opportunity to weed & get to know your collection.
• Shelving now easier/faster.
• Prepare for customer feedback. Remember, you can’t please everyone.
There are lots of examples of public libraries that have either replaced Dewey completely with their own “home grown” classification system or created some sort of Dewey hybrid where they’ve paired a subject with Dewey.
The Lewisville Public Library is one of those “hybrid” collections.
We’re going to show you why we chose to reorganize our collection and how we went about it, and offer some tips to help make your reorganization project a success.
Why reorganize your collection?
For one, library customers are still perplexed and confused by Dewey simply because they don’t understand it.
They often don’t have the time or the desire to learn it.
Dewey has served us well for 140 years, but many libraries are coming to realize that it no longer works for their customers.
Many customers prefer and expect the library collection to be like a bookstore.
More often than not, a customer comes to the desk and asks “Where are your Psychology books?” They just want to browse.
You’ll likely direct them to the 150s, but there are also Psychology books in the 170s, 190s, 305s, 616s…
For OUR customers and OUR collection, having a subject-based, browse-able system made sense.
Another reason to reorganize might be declining circulation.
When we began our reorganization project our circulation across the library was doing well, except for Adult Nonfiction books.
By reorganizing and revitalizing the nonfiction book collection we hoped the circulation would increase.
In the last couple of years, Lewisville PL circulation has been declining across ALL collections. This decline is due to reasons other than the collection organization.
Other libraries who have reorganized their collections in a similar fashion have documented significant increases in circulation. For example, the Delta Township (MI) District Library saw a 122% increase in circulation in the first year after they reorganized their nonfiction collection.
Thus, reversing a declining circulation is a valid reason for collection reorganization.
Now to give you a picture of the Lewisville Public Library:
Medium sized public library in Dallas-Fort Worth (TX) metroplex (about 25 miles north of downtown Dallas)
Single location
Serve a community of around 100,00 people
Broad, generalist collection
Adult Nonfiction print collection = 23,000 items
At the time of our reorganization, we did not have a “Technical Services unit” in the traditional sense, so it was up to the Adult Services Staff to plan and carry out the reorganization project.
Adult Services Unit = 10 staff (4 Librarians, 6 Technicians – half were PT)
2010 –Adult Services Supervisor attended a session at PLA called “Doing Away with Dewey” where the Markham (CAN) Library System talked about their Customer Centred Classification system.
2011 – Decided to tackle our Adult Fiction collection and reorganize it into 7 Genres.
FICTION GENRES:
General 5. Mystery/Suspsense
SciFi/Fantasy/Horror 6. Western
Inspirational 7. Graphic Novels
Romance
August 2012 – Moved on to the DVD collection and reorganized that collection into 9 film genres:
DVD GENRES:
Romance 6. Musical
Comedy 7. Drama
Action/Adventure 8. Western
Mystery 9. Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror
Foreign Film
Sept/Oct 2012 – Heavily weeded the Reference collection; items we kept were moved to nonfiction circulating collection. Created the Career Center and Travel Center.
Reference collection
Career Center & Travel Center
Opened up the space, room for additional seating, more visually interesting
After reorganizing the Adult Fiction, DVDs, and creating the Career and Travel Centers, we moved into Phase 1 of the Nonfiction reorganization.
Phase 1 included:
Researching possible categories and deciding on our Zones
Creating Zone definitions and guidelines
Preparing/training staff
Ordering supplies for the project
To decide what subject categories we would use, we researched what other libraries were using.
Looked at Amazon and Barnes & Noble subject categories (We did not use BISAC)
Each Adult Services Librarian came up with their suggested list, then met together to decide on our Zones.
Turned out all 4 librarians were pretty much on the same page, so deciding the Zones was an easy process.
Originally decided upon 25 Zone categories – just recently added the 26th Zone, WLAN, after taking the language learning books out of the Travel Zone
The categories you choose should be based on YOUR users and YOUR collection.
Maybe your collection has a large focus on Gardening. You may want to have a Gardening Zone separate from Home & Garden.
If you’re not a library in Texas you likely won’t have a Texas Zone.
Once the Zones were decided, we chose the 3-4 letter abbreviation for each that would be the prefix to the Dewey number.
Once all Zone categories were chosen, we wrote the guidelines/definitions for each Zone. This document is so important!
If we weren’t sure which Zone to choose for an item, we referred to the guidelines.
It ensured the librarians were consistently assigning items to the appropriate Zone.
During the project, we continually made changes to this document as we identified additional sub-topics that needed to be added or decided that certain subjects belonged in another Zone.
In preparation for relabeling every item, we ordered supplies.
Phase 2 was the longest phase.
Here we were assigning each and every item to a Zone, changing the call # and location in the system, and relabeling each item
The Adult Services Librarians were responsible for assigning each item to a Zone. We started with the 000s and worked our way through to the 999s. A librarian would pull a cart of books and go book-by-book assigning each title to a Zone. To decide on the Zone for each item, we would pull up the item record, look at the subject headings, synopsis, and read the book jacket.
Sometimes we’d have to further and look up the book in FirstSearch and also Amazon in order to come to a consensus.
There are times when the overarching subject of a book isn’t clear cut. Since we were working on this project while we were at the service desk, we often had to set an item aside until we could get with the other librarians to confer and come to a consensus.
Ultimately, when deciding on where a book should go, we asked ourselves “Where would a customer expect to find this book?
Once the librarian decided on the Zone, they added the Zone prefix to the call number field in the Bibliographic Record.
Then added the Zone prefix to the call number in the Item Record and changed the home location.
We created a new home location designator for each Zone.
OPAC view of the title—Zone is identified in the call # and home location
Once the entire cart of books had been assigned a Zone and changed in the system, the cart was ready for new labels.
At this point the Adult Services Technicians became a part of the process. They would take a cart of books that a librarian had changed in the system, run a label report and print the new labels, then remove the old label and place the new label on each item.
Librarians helped with the relabeling if they had time. The more people working on the process, the faster we could complete the project.
Once the cart was relabeled, the books went back on the shelf. During this phase we continued to shelve the nonfiction books by Dewey, ignoring the new Zone prefix.
The entire library was interested in the progress and eager to see the end result.
We found it helpful to display our progress through the project – especially during Phase 2 since this was the longest phase.
We created this thermometer-style poster that hung in the main staff area. Every week, we’d run a report so see how many items had been assigned to a Zone and then display that progress.
While Phase 2 was the initial pass through the entire nonfiction collection, Phase 3 was the 2nd pass through the collection to assign and relabel items that were missed on the 1st pass. Started again in the 000s, we went all the way through the collection.
Our shelvers were a big help at this point. As items were returned by customers, the shelvers would find the items that had not yet been assigned to a Zone and would bring those to an Adult Services Librarian.
At this point the Adult Services Supervisor ran reports and prepared a plan for the actual relocation of the nonfiction items into their Zones.
The Adult Services Supervisor ran reports to identify the number of items that were now assigned to each Zone.
Based on the average size of a nonfiction book, she calculated roughly how many books would fit on each shelf and then how many shelves we would need for each Zone.
So for example, the Animals & Pets Zone has 754 items which would need roughly 777 inches. If we filled each shelf up to 26” we would need 30 shelves for the Animals & Pets Zone.
Based on these calculations she created a layout/map placing all of the Zones in the Adult Nonfiction Area, which we used to guide us in actually moving the shelves and books.
Phase 4 was surprisingly the shortest phase of the project.
This was when we actually moved shelves and moved the books to their Zones, then finished up by creating new signage.
Before the reorganization, all of the shelves in Adult Nonfiction were lined up in long, straight, linear aisles with an aisle cutting through the middle, perpendicular to the shelves.
During the move, we angled the front section of shelves toward the desk and left the back section straight
Angling the front section toward the desk allows customers and staff to easily see the end panels from the desk.
It’s also visually more interesting than the long, straight aisles.
Looking down the aisle from the front you can see to the back section
Phase 4 also included finishing up the project with signage. In reorganizing the shelves, we removed the top shelf of every section which left us space to create banner signage for each section.
The banner over each section of shelves makes it very clear what Zone you are in.
This is especially important in the few cases where two Zones share an aisle, as is the case with Social Sciences and Law.
We also redesigned our end panel signage. Before the project, we had 8.5 x 11 frames mounted at the very top of the end panel.
We decided to remove these frames for several reasons:
Too small in which to fit all of the information, especially for those aisles that had more than 1 Zone.
Customers didn’t look that high
Were not visually interesting or eye catching
The new end panel signage is at eye level, runs horizontally.
Colors match the Zone banners.
We also added aisle numbers which we didn’t have before this project, and these are now easy to see.
The Lewisville Library is fortunate to have a poster printer (HP Z2100) in the library, so we designed and printed all of the new signage in house.
All said and done, the project was completed on October 19, 2013 = 12 month project
The complete redesign of our signage was an extremely important component of the project.
Not just the banners, new end panel signage and aisle numbers, but also maps of the new layout and Aisle guides to hand to customers.
Poster sized maps were displayed in the area around the Adult Nonfiction collection.
Maps were printed so that we could give them to the customers.
We recently created this Zone Guide (1/4 sheet in size) where we can write call numbers on one size, circle the appropriate aisle, and then hand it to the customer.
To celebrate the completion of the project, we held a party for all of the library staff. Even though the Adult Services Unit was responsible for the project, other staff assisted as needed and everyone was supportive and excited.
We continue to made modifications. As previously mentioned, we recently added a 26th Zone. We had our language learning books in the Travel Center, but discovered that didn’t make sense to most customers. After weeding all of our literary criticism volumes we had space in the nonfiction collection, so we created the World Language Learning Zone.
Selection responsibilities for new nonfiction materials is divided among the Adult Services Librarians. Each librarian is responsible for selecting materials for and managing 5-6 Zones.
We use Brodart for our print book materials. Our Acquisitions Librarian created a processing profile grid in Brodart Bibz for each Zone.
The librarian builds a List of items for a Zone, then assigns the appropriate Grid Template.
In this example, the librarian has built a List of items for the Music & Performing Arts Zone.
When they are ready to submit the list for purchase, they apply the Music-Performing Arts Zone grid template.
Through Brodart processing, the Zone prefix and home location are applied to the new item records and items come processed with the Zone on the spine label.
Some things we learned from the project:
Be flexible. Anticipate that the project timing will ebb and flow.
Our project took 4 ½ months longer than we planned. We estimated a timeline based on how quickly we were able to reorganize the Fiction collection and planned on Phase 2, the assigning and relabeling of the items, to take about 4 months Instead it took 10 months.
This was because:
-- Choosing a Zone wasn’t always easy or clear cut
-- Other tasks/projects took priority and took us away from the reorganization project
-- Staff out for TLA, vacation, etc.
On the flip side, the actual moving of the shelves and the books went much faster than we planned – less than 2 weeks!
Reorganization was an opportunity for us to weed the nonfiction collection.
We actually weeded quite a bit of weeding! You can run a report to identify items to weed based on circulation or publication date, but sometimes actually touching an item and getting it in your hands offers the best perspective on the condition of your collection.
Shelving is now easier and faster.
Our shelvers immediately reported sorting and shelving items to be much easier. The Zones break apart some of those long ranges of Dewey numbers that take more time and focus to sort. The Zones break down the collection into smaller, more easily managed groups.
Be prepared for customer feedback. Remember, you can’t please everyone.
Some customers will LOVE IT and others will HATE IT. Some people just don’t handle change well, others are believe Dewey to be sacred and will be offended that you’ve altered it. For the most part, our customers really like it and we’ve had a very positive response.
Please email us with any questions. We’re happy to share documents from our projects.
