Planning Hospital Library Quarters: References to Help the Librarian
AUTOR(ES)
Hayne, Frances
RESUMO
When a hospital planned an addition that would allow library expansion, the librarian looked into relevant literature for information on what improvements she should request for the new library. Shortly she was reading not for self-instruction alone but also to strengthen her credentials for membership on the planning team. The bibliography which resulted has been annotated and, by means of an index, classified. Topics examined in the twenty-five references range from library standards and the writing of a significant building program to attainment of happy collaboration between librarian and architect, space relationships designed to facilitate work flow, planned flexibility for the sake of the future, and heating, lighting, decoration, library equipment, and furniture.
