Planning a new health sciences library at the beginning of the twenty-first century is a tremendous challenge. Technology has radically changed the way libraries function in an academic environment and the services they provide. Some individuals question whether the library as place will continue to exist as information becomes increasingly available electronically. To understand how libraries resolve programming and building design issues, visits were made to three academic health sciences libraries that have had significant renovation or completed new construction. The information gathered will be valuable for planning a new library for the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and may assist other health sciences librarians as they plan future library buildings.
在21世纪初规划一座新的健康科学图书馆是一项巨大的挑战。技术已经从根本上改变了图书馆在学术环境中的运作方式及其提供的服务。随着信息越来越多地以电子方式获取,一些人质疑作为实体场所的图书馆是否还会继续存在。为了了解图书馆如何解决规划和建筑设计问题,我们走访了三座进行了重大翻新或完成了新建工程的学术健康科学图书馆。所收集到的信息对于为科罗拉多大学健康科学中心规划一座新图书馆将很有价值,并且在其他健康科学图书馆馆员规划未来的图书馆建筑时可能会有所帮助。
