In preparing to complete assignment three I spent a lot of time walking through the library and visiting the space when user groups were there. What I realized is that some of the initial deficiencies of the library were really non existent or did not make much of a difference to the users experience. Instead, I noticed that there were other flaws which needed to be addressed. Furthermore, these flaws were more closely related to improving access to learning resources and the overall experience of library users. By addressing these flaws would also help the library better achieve their six goals and objectives.
The two changes I have gone about addressing for assignment three are shelving and furniture layout. Through careful research I have found additional shelving units and products which will provide extra shelving to use to house more resources and display others or possibly display student work, art, etc. I have also found new furniture pieces which can be used to create a quiet reading lounge. The original furniture has then be re-arranged to create a larger classroom type space with an additional quiet study area for other library users who aren't with the larger groups.
At this point I am nearly done developing my plan and presentation for making the shelving and furniture changes to my library. I hope that both the detailed plan (Word Document) and visual presentation (PowerPoint) will help my library make the changes it requires to improve the users overall library experience and specifically their access to learning resources.
