Libraries and Learning Resource Centres
This comprehensive reference examines the changing role and design of library buildings, using a critical examination of recent examples from around the world. The authors, who represent the views of the architect and the client, outline the history and changing typology of the library. They examine the new national, public, academic and specialist libraries using numerous international examples including Sri Lanka, Vancouver, Johannesburg, Paris and London. New design advice and technical data is presented to illustrate the many approaches that designers have taken in creating a building with many diverse functions. The book concludes with speculations about the future of the library as a place for storing, reflecting upon and exchanging knowledge. Libraries are undergoing fundamental change as new technology liberates the library from its dependence upon the written word. Increasingly libraries are seen as learning resource centres with a smooth interface between computer-based access and traditional book and journal material.
From the Archives of B. L. Fisher Library
"What on earth do you keep in those archives anyway?" I was a bit surprised by the question, not because it was a new question, but because a student worker at the B.L. Fisher Library at Asbury Theological Seminary asked it. This student worker had worked at the library for many years and so I came to realize that many people who used the library daily or worked at the Seminary might be in a similar position. Often Archives and Special Collections can be mysterious places, where specialized scholars go to research obscure topics. Even professionals can be baffled by the use of "finding aids" that may notbe overly helpful
