  Web Sites:

  Share your Building Project - a web site, created by the journal and the Library Administration and Management Association, that allows readers to look in one place for information on library building projects from across the country and search by footage, cost, special features, and location. The web site also provides a way to find architects, consultants, and suppliers of library furniture. The article encourages readers to submit information on library building projects.

Building Projects Database - this will be a reality at projects.libraryjournal.com via the new Building Projects Database, developed by Library Journal in partnership with Library Administration and Management Association

Libris Design is a library facility planning information system which includes a website with recent information on facility planning topics, a database of recently constructed California public libraries, an area for users to communicate with each other, user help documentation and a trial version of the Libris Design database.

Libris Design Planning Documentation - many links to documents on acoustics, daylight design, furniture, stacks and shelving...

WebJunction's Focus on Space Planning for Libraries - Careful space planning in the initial stages of a building or renovation project can help to ensure its success. There are many resources available to help you calculate the space requirements for library programs, services, and collections.
Presenting Space Needs Analyses and Examples of Library Building Programs - The space requirements can be presented in a simple one page Space Allocation Chart or a more detailed document, a Space Needs Assessment. These documents would be the basis for a more detailed building program.
