| contents | Size Matters: The Debate over Reference Desk Height. Warnement, Mary Academic Libraries Higher Education Librarians Library Facilities Library Policy Library Services Library Surveys Reference Services User Needs (Information) User Satisfaction (Information) Summarizes the debate concerning use of desks versus counters in reference areas of academic libraries. Librarians argued whether patrons were more likely to approach a standing or a sitting librarian. In general, patrons preferred approaching a standing librarian; however, only small studies were conducted. In practice, libraries are designed in almost equal number with one or a combination of both. (Author/AEF) |
