Undergraduate Learning In Libraries: Space Design For Academic Course Transformation And Re-Thinking Campus Culture, Ilana Stonebraker, Tomalee Doan
Undergraduate Learning In Libraries: Space Design For Academic Course Transformation And Re-Thinking Campus Culture, Ilana Stonebraker, Tomalee Doan
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
At Purdue University, the Libraries participate in a provost-initiated, campus-wide course redesign program for student success called Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation (IMPACT). As part of the campus strategic plan, this program aims to bring active learning to foundational courses traditionally taught through lectures.

Inquiry-based and user-centered facility design catalyzes constituency engagement, creates shared vision, and builds stakeholder partnerships through signature ‘participatory action research’ and ‘library as lab’ initiatives that advance collective learning and energize renovation planning in the library and on campus. This user-centered design approach also informs energetic fundraising strategies which produce $32.8 million in multi-year State appropriations and cash contributions. Essential elements - creating messages, furthering relationships, and forging alliances - invigorate the capital campaign and sustain renovation fundraising momentum.

Where You And I Are Going To Spend The Rest Of Our Lives: What A Future Library Looks Like When There Is No There... There., Corey Seeman
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
Academic libraries have long envisioned a future where new services and functions are added to our existing structure of student and collection space. However, our future might be more driven not by what we gain, but by what we lose. In this presentation, a library that went through a massive change learned more quickly about the “library of the future” when they lost both student and collection space during a massive construction project. This presentation will share how the staff at this library adapted from a full service library to an information service unit; the service model of an “ethereal …

From Dandelion Seed To Cottage Garden: The Transformation Of User Experience In The Msu Libraries, Christine Tobias
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
The user experience movement is gaining momentum in libraries, but its adoption and adaptation into an organizational culture may present unexpected challenges. In June 2014, the Michigan State University (MSU) Libraries created a User Experience unit and in a short time, established a solid and reputable team of practitioners. This success, however, was not achieved overnight. User experience work tends to be team-oriented and project-based, and initially, unit members struggled to adapt their roles within the unit and the unit’s role within the organization. To guide the unit forward, an in-house retreat was held to give unit members an opportunity …
The Library As A Social Contract: Lessons Learned, Jeffrey A. Scherer
The Library As A Social Contract: Lessons Learned, Jeffrey A. Scherer
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
This paper is based on the premise that how humans are treated and their needs met defines a community culture. Cultures that do not meet the needs of their people will wither. It is a very personal statement and is not intended to be a lengthy treatise of library technologies, collections, service models or architecture. It focuses on the messiness of dealing with the complex realities of today’s culture and the intersection of the library as a place of service and a sustainable part of a community.
From The Commons To The Spartan Floor: Enhancing Digital Literacy Through Technology-Integrated Spaces, Christina Mune, Sharon Thompson
From The Commons To The Spartan Floor: Enhancing Digital Literacy Through Technology-Integrated Spaces, Christina Mune, Sharon Thompson
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
San José State University’s Spartan Floor represents a suite of services and spaces designed to promote digital literacy amongst university library patrons. This happens through the use of formal and informal knowledge transfer – technology training workshops, front-line hardware and software support, integrated collaborative technologies – in spaces strategically collocated so that students have staff support or resource access when and where the digital literacy need emerges. A variety of data-driven methods are employed to assess space usage, services, and collections on the Spartan Floor. Some or all of these services, spaces, and methods can be recreated by libraries interested …

Excuse Me. Is That A Video Studio In Your Library?, Lori S. Mestre, Eric Kurt
Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age - Conference Proceedings
Although many faculty now require student projects to be presented in a multimodal format, it is rarely feasible for each department or school to acquire all of the technology needed to support those efforts or to require that each student purchase the equipment. This article provides details of the Video Production Studio in the Media Commons at the Undergraduate Library, which serves as a centralized service space that houses a robust loanable technology program and collaborative studios that facilitates the creation of video and audio projects. It is an environment that helps to foster discussion and collaboration from students and …
