The following announcement is cross-posted to multiple lists. Please excuse any duplication. LIBRARY AS PLACE : DESIGNING FOR TRANSITION Association of College and Research Libraries/New England Chapter Fall Conference October 25, 1996, 9:15 - 3:00, registration 8:00 - 9:15 University of New Hampshire Memorial Union Building The theme for the 1996-1997 ACRL/NEC conferences will be library as place, designing libraries for new services and methods of working. As many libraries are being renovated, adding space and being replaced, now is the time to think about the services we provide and how we do our work. Are the old patterns still the best? How do we go about planning space for our current needs and those that are coming? The ACRL/NEC Fall conference will feature D. Kaye Gapen, who has recently acted as a consultant to the Arizona State University as they restructured their organization. There will also be a panel discussion featuring an architect familiar with designing libraries, a librarian who has been involved in a major project and a library director. The three perspectives will be, the library as an architectural statement, the library as a service point and the library as an attraction for students and donors. Carol Fleishauer of MIT will moderate. There will be breakout sessions on specific topics, including designing specific spaces, designing a library with an inclusive, collegial committee, coordinating a building project and one other topic to be announced. The University of New Hampshire is located in Durham, New Hampshire, 90 miles North of Boston, MA on a bucolic land-grant campus. The Memorial Union Building has recently been renovated and expanded.
