Designing Libraries for Research

Carol Mandel
Dean of Libraries
New York University
In this session, reports from two institutional assessments of research behaviors and needs will be presented. The studies provide data resulting from a campus-wide assessment (New York University), as well as analyses of particular communities (humanities and social sciences at Minnesota). Results reveal trends in research methods and the shifting landscape of content, services, and tools that shape faculty and student repertoires. Opportunities to reconceive library space and methods of service delivery will be explored.
