Abstract: | Planning to adapt or expand existing space in an academic library can be challenging, and librarians use a variety of methods as an attempt to access the needs of their primary patrons- the students. Mixed-methods studies are most common, and this research will summarize a variety of documented space assessment methods in academic libraries. Some notable examples include Nancy Foster's 2007 ACRL publication, Studying Students, Susan Montgomery's 2013 assessment of the Rollins College library before and after renovations, and Fox and Doshi's longitudinal assessment of Georgia Tech's new commons area. From this literature review, recommendations can be made regarding the space assessment methods librarians may use based upon their library's specific needs. |
