  Seating Patterns and Improvements in a Small College Library
 
 
Title: Seating Patterns and Improvements in a Small College Library
Author: Loder, Michael W.
Appeared in: College and undergraduate libraries
Paging: Volume 7 (2001) nr. 2 pages 83-94
Year: 2001-01-30
Contents: The relocation of a small academic library to a new building gave the author an opportunity to reshape the user seating mix. Differences were found in what the library preferred to offer in the way of seating (primarily carrels to control noise) and what the users preferred to use (primarily tables so they could spread out their work or study with others). Recordings of actual user preferences after the move confirmed informal observations and led to a subsequent, more successful adjustment in the seating mix. The findings and methods should be useful for librarians planning to build new facilities or create more effective seating in existing buildings.
