Please take our library outcomes survey on our  web site.<\/p>\n<p>During the course of formal (surveys, interviews) and informal (observation) assessment, we look at furnishings, computers, equipment and exterior entrance and flow in\/out of the building. Throughout this process we generate quantitative and qualitative data that is used to isolate behavioral patterns that will ultimately enable us to formulate solutions for the library space.<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, we did a full day workshop at the University of Manchester for <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20231211131539\/https:\/\/www.cilip.org.uk\/\">CILIP<\/a>.\u00a0 It was a wonderful event to share knowledge with 25 British Librarians, as we talked about library space planning and learned about best practices.\u00a0 The participants were very interested in new ideas for libraries; they could see the complexity of change and needed some answers. It was a great opportunity to tour the library and learn about the library director\u2019s plans to improve the building. It was obvious the library was a great institution; history seeped out of its pores.\u00a0 However, it needed new tools to manage the complex world of libraries.\u00a0 It needed a new plan.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk-news\/2014\/mar\/21\/manchester-central-library-reopens-50m-pound-revamp\">Manchester Library recently reopened<\/a> after an ambitious 50M renovation.\u00a0 The original building created a pleasing atmosphere, but was not a great place to work or study.
