Sims, Iyanna Spruill, Octavious Bowen, Arneice Russell, Tiffany Exner, Nina Library Development Library Automation Space Utilization Interior Design Academic Libraries Computer Use Laptop Computers Handheld Devices Library Research Observation Use Studies User Satisfaction (Information) User Needs (Information) Academic libraries are spending considerable time and study on redesigning spaces. The use of technology is often an important part of these redesigned spaces. The space redesign goals at F. D. Bluford Library focus on creating open, activity-promoting, colorful spaces that are designed to be attractive to students. The goals also focus on implementing hybrid spaces that allow students to work alone or in groups, with support for mobile technologies like laptops or tablets. The space redesign goals focus on upgrading the quality of desktops available but reducing the number of desktops. This study examines the question "Does our library renovation significantly change computer use in the redesigned area?" Key findings include that, in defiance of expectations, there is no significant decrease in desktop usage despite the decreased number of computers. However, findings show there is a significant difference in tablet use, despite tablet-friendly spaces and charging options. Surprisingly, our students use fewer tablets. Laptop usage shows no significant difference. In summary, our research shows desktop computing--especially high-quality desktop computing--appears to still have a role in academic libraries even in the mobile technology age. |
