Dear cni-announce subscribers:

Earlier this week I posted a message about the availability of the program and speaker list for the Designing Libraries V Conference at University of Calgary. I now want to share news that the FLEXspace initiative is sponsoring a contest to encourage libraries to contribute information about their new or renovated spaces to their database. All individuals who contribute information by August 18 will be eligible for a drawing for subsidized registration and travel to the Designing Libraries Conference (specific details and limitations are on the website).

If you are not yet familiar with FLEXspace, I encourage you to register for a free account and explore the website. The FLEXspace database contains detailed descriptions and photos of higher education learning spaces. You will see that some library spaces are represented, but there are many more out there that would be of interest to a broader community. FLEXspace can give you some concrete examples when you are designing new spaces, and you can contribute information about the results of your efforts in return. Please see additional information about the contest below.
