*Space and collections earning their keep: Transformation, Technologies, 
Retooling*

**

Library buildings and their interior spaces should be closely related to 
their functions. Traditionally they have served as book and journal 
storage spaces offering access to diverse physical collections. Today, 
following numerous social and technological changes, libraries need to 
retool their services. Physical as well as digital collections have to 
"cohabit" within a building. The transformation in information 
technology had had an enormous impact on users' research behaviour which 
in turn demands new discovery environments. Access and use of media have 
to be organized according to the manifold needs of users and with regard 
to the opportunities of mobile technology.As a result, different types 
of collections and the needs of the users compete for priority in 
library spaces. These need more than ever to be flexible and adaptable 
in the future. Architects must seek to provide solutions for the 
integration of and access to physical and also digital media.

The Library Buildings & Equipment Standing Committee and the Acquisition 
and Collection Development Standing Committee are looking for papers 
that highlight how public, academic and research communities in 
different regions of the world provide high quality, adaptable and 
innovative library spaces meeting the needs of different users.

Sessions will be organized around the following topics:

-Transformation in information technology and the development of digital 
and physical collections

-Development of new discovery and access tools to media

-Case studies and design solutions for retooling library services to 
enable improved access, use and presentation of collections in different 
formats;

-Examples of excellence in library architecture that reflects form and 
function;

-Adaptation of space to meet the different demands of changing 
collections and patterns of use.

Presenters can include examples from the public, academic and research 
library world. The theme of WLIC 2014, "Libraries, Citizens, Societies: 
Confluence for Knowledge" should provide the context of the presentation.

*Paper Submission*

The IFLA Library Building and Equipment Section and the Acquisition and 
Collection Development Section welcome submissions of abstracts from 
prospective presenters on any of these broad themes. From among the 
abstracts received, 3 -- 5 papers on each topic will be selected for 
presentation at the satellite meeting. Papers may describe recent 
projects relevant to the themes listed above. Papers may also offer a

and building design will need to change in order to meet the challenges 
of information diversity.
