The Taylor
Family Digital Library, which opened in September 2011 at the University of
Calgary, offered a unique opportunity to rethink the library’s physical space,
technology infrastructure, and program of services. In this
leadership symposium, we will explore the trends and concepts shaping the
design and services of this library and other 21st century
libraries, learning centres and specialized library spaces. Speakers will include library and
university administrators, architects, designers, technologists, and campus
planners from Calgary and across North America. Symposium
sessions will include:
- Realizing the Vision
- Creating Spaces for Learning
- Planning for New Buildings on
Campus
- Rethinking Library Space: The
Academic, Information and Technology Contexts
- The Architect’s Perspective
- Designing Specialized Spaces in
Libraries
- In Conversation - One Building:
Multiple Perspectives
- Technologies: Pushing the
Boundaries
- A Year or Two Later – Lessons
Learned
This will
be of interest to academic administrators, librarians, technologists,
architects, and designers. This conference is being co-organized by: Tom Hickerson Joan
