    Developing a New Model and Organizational Framework for Liaison Librarians
    (ACRL, 2020) Luckert, Yelena; White, Gary W
    This chapter covers the developments arising from two major task forces at the University of Maryland Libraries, a Liaison Librarian task force and the Research Commons task force. Using Kotter’s Eight Stage Process, the authors discuss the planning and initial phases of these ideas, the work of the task forces, and communication to the library organization about the need and urgency for this work, as well as the subsequent steps taken since the final reports were submitted.

    Participatory Design in Redesigning an Academic Library: Asking Students about Their Favorite Study Spaces
    (2012-10-29) Barnachea, Lutgarda; Grijalva, Stacey; Williams, M. Jane; Wray, Tanner; Ippoliti, Cinthya; Luckert, Yelena; Tchangalova, Nedelina
    In 2011 a library-led project team gathered user-based information for a total redesign of McKeldin Library, the central library serving the University of Maryland, College Park. In addition, graduate classes in anthropology and architecture provided other elements of user input. All of the above were provided to an Architecture Studio course to create actual designs for a reprogrammed library. This poster focues on data from one of the three sets of library-led activities. In on-the-spot interviews in four outdoor spaces on campus, 33 undergraudate students were asked open-ended questions about where they do their academic work (projects, research papers, studying for exams) and why. This poster presents the results of those interviews.

    Participatory Design in Redesigning an Academic Library: Capturing Users’ Work through an Artistic Lens
    (2012-10-29) Wray, Tanner; Ippoliti, Cinthya; Luckert, Yelena; Tchangalova, Nedelina; Barnachea, Lutgarda; Williams, M Jane
    In 2011 a library-led project team gathered user-based information for a total redesign of McKeldin Library, the central library serving the University of Maryland, College Park. In addition, graduate classes in anthropology and architecture provided other elements of user input. All of the above were provided to an Architecture Studio course to create actual designs for a reprogrammed library. This poster focuses on data from one of the three sets of activities. In participatory design workshops library staff (21 participants), campus faculty (20), undergraduate (20) and graduate (17) students drew their ideal library workspaces. This poster presents drawings, gathered data and conclusions about stakeholders’ ideal study, research and work spaces in the library.
