This raises questions about what needs to be considered when planning and designing new library buildings in order to achieve attractive, efficient and future-oriented new library spaces. This new publication provides information and guidelines for the building planning process, whether you are planning a new public or academic library building. It reflects on fundamental issues, on new development trends and on the planning process. The library building process is seen from both the library manager's perspective as well as that of the architect and designer. Issues covered include what to consider when investigating the need for space, library design from a marketing viewpoint, green management and sustainability relating to library buildings and a layman's guide to reading plans. This publication and the IFLA guidelines provided are not seen as a traditional set of recommendations to be rigidly adhered to since this would be unrealistic in a fast-changing and global context. Rather, library managers and architects should read them in order to inform their thinking on key issues and establish a planning programme. They must then relate them to their own countries and circumstances by making the relevant local adjustments. 606 $aLibrary buildings$xDesign and construction 606 $aLibrary architecture 606 $aLibrary planning 606 $aLibraries$xSpace utilization 615 0$aLibrary buildings$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aLibrary architecture. 615 0$aLibrary planning. 615 0$aLibraries$xSpace utilization. 676 $a022.3 686 $aAN 79000$2rvk 700 $aLatimer$b Karen, $01038325 702 $aLatimer$b Karen 702 $aNiegaard$b Hellen 712 02$aInternational Federation of Library Associations and Institutions. 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820631303321 996 $aIFLA library building guidelines$94103018 997 $aUNINA
