Creative Planning of Special Library Facilities

<p>Through its discussions on planning using space and selecting equipment and furnishings this book first published in 1988 provides guidance for those who have little or no experience in designing a facility for a special library - one that serves a corporation government agency non-profit organization professional society or a special subject-oriented library located in an academic institution or public library. Its text is stimulating yet sound and will serve not only librarians planning new facilities but also those involved in remodelling or renovating existing facilities. The appendices contain descriptions and layouts of four typical libraries each showing the result of careful creative planning.</p>
