Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this article is to describe how assessments informed changes to library spaces to improve students' experiences.
Design/methodology/approach
The article describes three changes to the library to improve students' experience within the library. For each change, describe the reason for the change, assessments prior to the change to inform decision-making and follow-up assessments to determine value.
Findings
In each instance, the assessment prior to the changes informed decisions that expedited the changes. The results were spaces that improved library spaces to improve students' library experiences and better meet their needs.
Originality/value
The purpose of the article is to describe the importance and use of assessment to assist with changes to library spaces and inform the value of those changes.
