Space Allocation in Academic Health Sciences Libraries: Decisions and Outcomes in a New Paradigm
Sarah C. Adcock
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, The University of Mississippi
Over the past twenty-five years, many academic libraries have shifted from print to digital collections. One consequence of this change has been the increased use of a library's website to access books, journals, and databases in a digital format. Thus, library space, once used to house print material, is now available for other purposes, creating a new paradigm of library spaces. This change created a significant disruption in how libraries allocate space. Many academic libraries have repurposed spaces for new, learning-centered initiatives. The shift to a "learning-centered paradigm" (Bennett, 2009, p. 181) is more complex for academic health sciences libraries due to the nature of the students and the academic campuses they support. Following the Carnegie Principles on the Education Doctorate guidelines, this Dissertation in Practice explores space allocation decision making and outcomes in academic health sciences libraries during this new paradigm.
