A set of proposed key principles and ideas to guide the development of the libraries and archives has been drafted by the Library and Archives Master Plan (LAMP) team. As well, high level drawings of Stauffer and Douglas libraries provide a first iteration of the emerging planning concepts that the LAMP team is considering.

Focusing first on Stauffer and Douglas libraries, the planning team has taken the wealth of information and numerous suggestions collected so far and synthesized several emerging concepts that could act as guiding principles in the LAMP. These include:
카지노 게임 컬렉션 committing to accessibility, diversity and community,
카지노 게임 컬렉션 ensuring the sustainability of collections,
카지노 게임 컬렉션 improving learning and study spaces,
카지노 게임 컬렉션 enhancing and embedding services and technology throughout the library.
The LAMP team has also identified the need to find a more suitable space for the university archives. Currently housed in Kathleen Ryan Hall, the archives require more accessible space and a better climate-controlled environment. The planning proposal suggests moving the archives to Douglas Library, where it would be in proximity to the library카지노 게임 컬렉션s special collections.
The changes inside the libraries relate to one of the key concepts proposed: that Stauffer and Douglas should form a 카지노 게임 컬렉션library town square.카지노 게임 컬렉션
카지노 게임 컬렉션Given the central location of these signature buildings at the corner of Union Street and 카지노게임사이트 Avenue, there is tremendous potential to develop community and learning spaces in and around them,카지노 게임 컬렉션 adds Ms Whitehead. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s a good example of how the LAMP can connect with the broader Campus Master Plan process to create vibrant spaces that enhance both the student learning experience and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s research prominence.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The LAMP drawings and key concepts, along with information boards about the campus master plan, are now on display on the first floor of Stauffer library. Everyone is encouraged to view them at the library or online, and to to submit your feedback.
Over the course of April Ms. Whitehead and the other members of the LAMP project team will continue the consultation process as they meet with several student, faculty and staff groups. Everyone is invited to attend and ask questions at an upcoming information session on the LAMP project on Friday, April 26 from 11-11:45 am in Robert Sutherland Hall, room 202.
