How can you use assessment data to "re-zone" your library's spaces to meet the shifting needs for collections, users, library personnel, campus partners, and institutional priorities? This presentation discussed how one library built an assessment program that informed past and ongoing space re-allocations while also seeking to optimize the human and financial resources that are needed to successfully complete and maintain the projects.

Academic libraries must work continuously to ensure that their services match campus priorities, their spaces meet user needs, and their staffing is appropriate in quantity and qualifications. The topic has broad interest as most academic libraries face similar challenges. This poster addressed how one university library implemented a sustainable transformation of its services, staffing, and spaces. The presenters described how this library identified issues and through an inclusive process developed and implemented solutions. While the issues discussed have broad interest, this project's unique aspects include its comprehensive scope, its broad inclusiveness, and its overarching sustainability goals.
