"This Is Our Library, and It's a Pretty Cool Place": A User-Centered Study of Public Li... - 7 views

  •  
    This study sought to collect data from teens and librarians about their preferences and recommendations for the effective design of physical library spaces for teens. Librarians and teens at twenty-two U.S. public libraries filmed narrated video tours of their young adult (YA) public library spaces. The researchers used qualitative content analysis techniques to analyze the video data and to develop a framework for guiding the design of effective YA public library spaces. In addition to providing specific recommendations for user-centered YA library space design, this study highlights the need for continued user input into the design and maintenance of YA public library spaces as teens' needs evolve and vary across time and from community to community.

What does a school library look like in the digital age? | Teacher Network | Guardian P... - 0 views

  • What interests me is not just the explosion of the printed word but the inspirational library spaces created to curate them.
  • As a space, it is about inspiring young people.
  • The senior school library continues the journey. Here we aim to combine the power of the story with a concept premised on the Cabinet of Curiosities. Curiosity in its purest sense where a student's learning is entirely unrelated to examination specifications and is encouraging learning for its own sake. The first cabinet being mooted relates to an evening next term where the films of Charlie Chaplin will provide both entertainment and a cultural reference point. Our Curator of the Cabinet of Curiosities is tasked with supporting this with the curation of a range of objects which will stimulate interest and encourage inquiry. Our approach is unashamedly about inspiring a love of learning.

    Because 99% of the time, the books are better than the movies. Some of these film adaptations, though, look really promising.

London Mashed Up: Footage of the City from 1924 Layered Onto Footage from 2013 - 11 views

    Beautiful and amazing juxtaposition of then and now. "Using Gustav Mahler's Fourth Symphony as a sort of sonic mortar, Smith bricks the present day onto the British Film Institute's recent restoration of Parkinson and Miller's work. Actually, it's more of a keyhole effect, through which viewers can peep into the past." Beginning at 1:03 "The Strand, by the way, is as cosmopolitan a street as any we have seen, for here are housed our Colonial Brethren..." (Dominion of New Zealand building and Australia House).
