Upcoming book on revitalizing special library spaces

ADVERTISEMENTS

Any special libraries out there with stories to help this upcoming book?

Facelifts for Special Libraries: a practical guide to revitalizing diverse physical and digital spaces (working title*) is a book currently being written to share collective experiences and to give practical advice to busy solo-librarians or special library managers as to how to revitalize their libraries both in the physical and the digital space.

The book aims cover a variety of areas that could be considered revitalization projects including: renovations or upgrades to physical space with green initiatives, upgrading the library's digital space via open source software or other innovative web-based tools, as well as budgeting, planning, getting support from upper management and working with designers and vendors.

We are gathering information, case studies and interviews with librarians who have completed, are in the process of undertaking a physical or digital renovation project, or who are considering a future renovation or revitalization project in a special library.

*Upcoming book authored by three special librarians: Dawn Bassett (Vancouver Aquarium), Brooke Ballantyne Scott (Riverview Hospital and the Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission), and Jenny Fry (formerly of the BC Institute Against Family Violence)

Share your experiences

We'd like our book to be as practical a guidebook as possible.

Our intention is to incorporate practical real-life examples in our book so if you have a story to share, advice, and/or images to share please post them on the blog or email us and we'll post them for you: http://faceliftsforspeciallibraries.blogspot.com/

For more information, contact us at jbdbookproject@gmail.com

If you know of other librarians who would be interested in this project, please feel free to forward this email to them.

Thank you for your valuable input.
