Designing
modern libraries is a complex process involving many stakeholders and
participants. Libraries of all types work with an almost limitless range of
constituent groups for input, buy-in and successful implementation.
Collaboration partners across the spectrum can include the local community, our
students, faculty and campus partners, architects and designers, donors, governing
bodies, local municipal, university, state and national decision makers and
facilities personnel. Successful libraries and library design reflect
successful collaboration.
The IFLA
Library Buildings and Equipment section (LBE) is hosting a two-day satellite
conference to be held at the Illinois Institute of Technology in vibrant
Chicago. We are looking for proposals that address any areas of collaboration
leading to successful library design and innovative use.
Proposals
can be individual or team presentations, research studies, case studies or
panel discussions.
Topics can
be as varied as the potential range of collaborators. The papers can address
but are not limited to:
-
new library design or renovations
-
rethinking existing spaces to support new initiatives with new partners or old
partners in new ways
-
successful or challenging collaborations with donors and other funding sources,
community organizations, or research, teaching and learning partners evolving
in the digital age
-
innovative collaborations with unusual partners and their outcomes
- with the
result being outstanding library design and services to our user communities
We welcome
and encourage proposals relating to libraries of all types, including public,
national, university and special from around the world.
The paper
should be delivered in English as simultaneous translation will not be
available. If a paper is selected, authors must commit to presenting it in
Chicago.

Therefore, presenters must forward the complete text of their papers by May 16,
