What do they want? How are they using the space now and what could be improved? https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854381919 2021-10-29 16:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854381919 There is definite need for library space, but we don't need as much as we once did to store print. timtripp1 https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854381926 2021-10-29 16:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854381926 I think the pandemic has given us an opportunity to learn about new (dare I say improved?) ways that we can engage with our clients, and it turns out 90% of our work can be done from home. Maybe it's time to think about altering library spaces to reflect user needs. https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854382098 2021-10-29 16:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854382098 Maybe https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854382353 Maybe not ALL of the library space needs to be saved - especially stack space]]> 2021-10-29 16:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854382353 Staff and students who have questions still look for someone to talk to in person https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854382771 2021-10-29 16:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854382771 https://padlet.com/thlachlaabsc/LibrarySpace/wish/1854382782 Can be used as touchdown space, multipurpose, study, wellness, work.

But, space for print collection can be reduce/repurposed.

Having a space available is good for them as they have limited options
