How do you design a user-friendly library?• Great administrators that encourage.
• Great architects and designers that listen!
• Visit, visit, visit other facilities! Look at the book stores, too!
• Lay out your designs on paper! Share with others and talk about it!
• BE FLEXIBLE! What needs changing does not happen overnight! The students using the facility are the best judge if the space is right! Be observant - if the students like it, they will let you know!
