Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the impact that library interior design can have on patron satisfaction with library service offering, in light of cost concerns from both patrons and library managers alike. Design/methodology/approach – This paper provides insight from library design researchers and the authors’ experiences with how to simultaneously design effective spaces and advocate for funding for construction and remodeling. Findings – There are at least three major categories for the fiscal impact of design projects: large, medium and small scale. Research on design projects, however, ranges from the low 6 figures to over $50 million. This situation creates a case-by-case environment for library administrators looking for best practices. Originality/value – No library is exactly like another, and no library’s patrons have similar fiscal tolerance for interior design proposals and build-out projects. This paper provides guidance for library administrator searching for more information on how to advocate for and begin the process of library interior design with an aim of increasing utility and functionality of spaces.

图书馆室内设计，成本，以及对未来的影响

目的-本文的目的是深入了解图书馆室内设计对图书馆服务提供的用户满意度的影响，考虑到用户和图书馆管理人员的成本问题。设计/方法论/方法——本文提供了图书馆设计研究人员的见解和作者的经验，如何同时设计有效的空间，并倡导为建设和改造提供资金。研究结果——设计项目的财政影响至少有三大类:大型、中型和小型。然而，对设计项目的研究从6位数到超过5000万美元不等。这种情况为寻找最佳实践的图书馆管理员创造了一个具体情况具体分析的环境。原创性/价值——没有一个图书馆与另一个完全相同，也没有一个图书馆的顾客对室内设计建议和扩建项目有类似的财政容忍度。本文为图书馆管理者寻找更多的信息来倡导和开始图书馆室内设计的过程，以增加空间的实用性和功能性提供指导。
