Increased electronic access to library resources has led to an ongoing discussion about the need for physical library buildings. On a college or university campus, the library is a destination for students, faculty and staff. Their usage makes the academic library a valuable learning space for campus. In “Assessing Library Space for Learning,” chapters discuss library usage at academic institutions and how that usage is an integral part of the student learning experience. This book is a combination of theory, practice and research-based chapters with an overall focus on the intersection of library space and learning.
