| contents | Estimating Space Requirements for Microfilm Catalogs and CRT Access to Computer Data Bases. Adler, Peter K. Catalogs College Libraries Databases Input Output Devices Libraries Library Facilities Library Planning Microfilm Microform Readers Microforms Public Libraries Space Utilization Speeches While the majority of libraries continue to use cards as their primary medium for public catalogs, microform catalogs are gaining popularity because they are more economical, and some libraries may soon be using cathode ray tube (CRT) terminals for displaying catalog data. No definitive information prescribing the space and equipment needs for using microform or CRT catalogs is available. Experience to date suggests that microfilm and microfiche readers require five square feet of space. The readers have been placed in carrels or on counters in some libraries. The number and placement of electrical outlets and the ambient lighting conditions should be considered in making location decisions. A survey of use activity in a comparable facility can give a library a reasonable estimate of the number of readers needed. (KB) |
