Assignment 4: Library Buildings. Due Feb 21.
1. Handout: Review Library Buildings.
2. Library Building Program Planning Guides:
Some examples of documents relating
to library
buildings have been placed in the Computer Lab.
They are the "Program Planning Guides" developed to justify State
funding for a new UC Santa Cruz Science Library; the UC Davis Main
("Shields") Library Alteration and Expansion;
the UC San Diego Central Library Addition; and the spiffy new San Francisco
campus library.
Read at least one carefully for content and as an example of skillful
persuasive presentation.
2. Books: Take a look at the shelves around MAIN Z679, esp.
Planning academic and research library buildings by Philip D.
Leighton and David C. Weber. 3rd ed. Chicago :
American Library Association, 1999. MAIN Z679.M491 2000.

on them.
