- Studying Space: Improving Space Planning with User Studies Pierard, Cindy Lee, Norice Use Studies Ethnography Study Facilities Libraries Study Library Facilities Higher Education Space Utilization Study Centers Users (Information) Academic Libraries Surveys Improvement Library Materials Research Methodology Feedback (Response) How can libraries best assess and improve user space, even if they are not in a position to undertake new construction or a major renovation? Staff at New Mexico State University used a variety of ethnographic methods to learn how our spaces were being used as well as what our users considered to be ideal library space. Our findings helped us make high-impact changes to public spaces while staying within a modest budget and a tight timeline. We used many of the same methods after our redesigns to evaluate our efforts and plan for future improvements. (Contains 10 figures.)
