I really like the idea of the group area for listening - think that can definitely be incorporated. Also access to digital information needs to be a priority - but I need to know what you or your students will want to access! Many seniors are really not using the resources available - is it because they don't know what is available or are they not being encouraged to develop enquiry skills for themselves????I'm not sure what the impact of the student laptops will be. Next time you come to the library, please try to take note of your first impressions. I think we need to improve the signage and use the highly visible area at the entrance more effectively. I am currently culling the collection heavily - studies have shown that this can really improve usage statistics, especially when combined with front facing displays and other "retail marketing strategies".Keep the suggestions coming!
