Title: Planning college library buildings for information technology: Case studies of four small colleges
Abstract: Four case studies were undertaken to explore the planning strategies and outcomes related to information technology in small college libraries in the early 1990's. Four small colleges were visited in the United States which had recently completed and occupied new library buildings. Data was gathered in summer, 1993.
Findings showed that planning conducted subsequent to a thorough needs assessment was the most successful in fulfilling the potential of the library building. Comprehensive institutions were found to be overall more inclusive in their planning process, and thus more successful when compared to liberal arts colleges.
Use of a consultant to write the building plan made it more likely that all operational areas of the building were treated thoroughly in the building plan.
Retrospective conversion projects were found to have no real impact on building projects, since none of the institutions studied was currently engaged in one.
Video display unit emissions were not observed to have taken into account in planning for the library facilities in the study, when those facilities are compared against guidelines found in the literature.
