Hi Sarah In addition to Liz’s sensible suggestions, there are some useful (free) publications available from the (US) Council on Library and Information Resources, e.g., *Participatory design in academic libraries: New reports and findings* (February 2014) - looks at how staff at eight academic institutions gained new insight about how students and faculty use their libraries, and how the staff are using these findings to improve library technologies, space, and services. Available at http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub161 + a useful overview article by Karen Latimer, chair of the (UK) Designing Libraries Advisory Board: Latimer, K. (2011). Collections to connections: Changing spaces and new challenges in academic library buildings. *Library Trends, 60*(1), 112-133. doi:10.1353/lib.2011.0035. Available at https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/handle/2142/31864. + the Learning Space Toolkit developed at North Carolina State U (available at http://learningspacetoolkit.org), which has recently completed an impressive new library, as well as a nice renovation. You might also find it useful to browse the open access *Journal of Learning Spaces, *available at http://libjournal.uncg.edu/jls Hope this helps!
