Some of my recent thoughts about academic libraries. These focus a fair bit on spaces, but there is also a focus on services, technologies and our programs.
It is from a presentation that I gave by Skype to the SCU Library on 27 November 2015.
2. TRENDS & CONTEXT
changes in scholarly communication
| new jobs & digital literacies | data
curation | open scholarship |
research impact | pedagogical
change | transdisciplinarity |
4. Libraries are not
circuses, shopping
malls, banks or Apple
stores
(but probably have a little to learn
from each of these)
5. Customs House
Library, Sydney | a
great example of
brilliant design and
successful
connected programs
and services |
refurbishment by
PTW Architects in
association with
Tanner Architects &
Lacoste+Stevenson
7. Service desks & reserve holds area | Humboldt University Library, Berlin
8. MONA:some thoughts
leaving it to chance | don’t aim for
perfection | the power of not
knowing | aim for wonder, awe,
inspiration, delight, serendipity &
surprise | more random | more trust |
