Privileged Spaces

Academic Libraries in University Estates Strategy

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

With increasing demands for more efficient use and variety of spaces in university estates, there is increasing uncertainty as to what the implications of the blurring of the lines of traditional library space and that of the wider university might be. Drawing on the knowledge and experience of library leaders, estates directors, space managers, and researchers both nationally and internationally, Privileged Spaces provides insight into emerging thinking about the place of the academic library within university estates strategy. Considering the rise in costs of estates management and new demands on sustainable and wellness space designs, this book explores whether academic libraries have ever held the privileged position of operating outside university estate strategy and, if so, why.Library staff and leaders in particular will gain practical intelligence to advocating for library spaces.
