✦ Synopsis

Abstract

It is increasingly easy to imagine the time in the future when most of the information and some of the support needed by library users is available electronically. The ways that people will interact with information will change, and libraries will need to design spaces that seamlessly combine the physical and the virtual. Such a library environment of the future is approaching quite rapidly in some disciplines. This panel uses a recent architectural study conducted by Hillier and DEGW Architectural Consultants for the Welch Medical Library of Johns Hopkins University to explore the implications of the library of the future on the design of the physical library facilities, considering especially changing patterns of use and the roles of librarians.
