Summary:

A must-have resource for library planners, librarians, architects, and all members of the design team, this completely revised Checklist will literally walk you through your building and help you to evaluate your current space, analyze each design element as it relates to space and function in the library, make decisions ranging from shelving finishes to technology equipment, and satisfy the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. New to this edition are sections on "green" (environmentally correct) design approaches, assessment of current facilities and alternatives to new construction, young adult and children's spaces, remote storage, and technology advancements.
