Core Webinar: Having a Seat at the Table: Representation and Participation
in the Library Facility Master Planning Process (Part 2 of 4-part series)

Date: Tuesday, October 1, 2024

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: CORE/Buildings & Operations: Buildings for College and
University Libraries and Planning & Design Committees are pleased to
present the four-part webinar series “Library Facility Master Plans”.

Library leaders with responsibility for one or more buildings continually
grapple with aging systems and facilities, while also keeping physical
spaces fresh and responsive to evolving service and programming needs.
Without a comprehensive plan, a series of small improvements in individual
rooms or partial floors can lead to an inconsistent patron and staff
experience and inefficient resource use. Additionally, without a master
plan, collection management policies intended to free up library space, can
make library real estate targets for both desirable and less desirable
non-library uses. Administrative support and campus funding requests are
better received when presented within the context of a master plan that
aligns with campus-wide strategic goals.

This series explores the key aspects of a Library Facility Master Plan,
from understanding its necessity and initiation to practical insights about
conducting a master planning process, along with lessons learned. It
features presenters including planners and architects, as well as a wide
spectrum of academic library deans, whose experiences will provide useful
insights.

Session 2: Having a Seat at the Table: Representation and Participation in
the Library Facility Master Planning Process advances the discussion about
who could/should be involved in leading and implementing a master planning
effort. It includes steps to define the scope, manage costs, and
communicate effectively.

   Gain insights into the diverse perspectives involved in Library Facility
   Master Planning, presented by speakers representing library-led,
