Renovation elements included removal of a wall on the main level to open up user space adjacent to the service desk and primary entry; repainting; addition of power outlets and technology; improved signage for wayfinding; and new furniture for heavily used areas. The aims of the renovation were to brighten and update the user space, raise the visibility of library services and offer new types of technological space solutions to library users. The library was also conceptually zoned into spaces that would function to support different types of user needs: collaboration (public, interactive space) , learning (one-on-one consultations), productivity (specialized equipment and software) and quiet, individual study. During Fall semester 2016, the Bio-Medical Library asked library users to complete a paper-based survey how well the new furnishings met their needs. This document provides an overview of the survey and its key findings.Item An Interprofessional Library in the Health Sciences Education Center(2016-08-03) Jaguszewski, Janice; Aspinall, Erinn EItem Health Sciences Libraries Annual Report, January-December 2016(2016) Health Sciences LibrariesThe Health Sciences Libraries at the University of Minnesota looks back at accomplishments in 2016.Item Library as Partner in the AHC(2017-01-17) Jaguszewski, Janice M; McGuire, LisaThis presentation offers a vision for what a health science library is and will be in the future, including connector, common good, creative catalyst, and service-rich environment available to all.
