Change and Our Future at UTS Library: It's Not Just about Technology
Booth, Mal; Schofield, Sally; Tiffen, Belinda
Australian Academic & Research Libraries, v43 n1 p32-45 Mar 2012
This paper describes our vision for the new UTS Library opening in 2016/17. Preparations are currently focussed on implementing enabling technologies which will move up to 80% of the print collection to an automated storage and retrieval system. This will allow the physical library to shift from a space dominated by book storage to a vibrant space for people, and facilitate better integration of physical and digital collections, services and spaces. While underpinned by technology, our new library is about people, and this paper describes the co-design practices we are exploring to include our clients in the planning process and ensure we deliver library services which meet their needs.
