Peculiarities of functional and planning organisation of university libraries

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: A university library is a space in which complex organisational processes take place, various functional areas are intertwined and separate movement schedules coexist. If the library’s physical space does not provide appropriate conditions for individual and group work, quick and free access to information resources, or the possibility of using computers and copying equipment, such a library will be infrequently visited. All of this determines the specifics of the library’s internal space organisation. To ascertain this, one needs to rethink its planning structure from the standpoint of possible functional development. That is why the essay’s objective is to highlight the main functional and planning elements of a modern library, the presence or absence of which directly affects the quality of its functioning.
