Core Webinar: Library Master Planning - Lessons Learned (Part 3 of 4-part
series)

Date: Wednesday, October 9, 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 3: Library Master Planning - Lessons Learned will feature speakers
who have engaged in library master planning projects. Discussions will
include institutional strategic alignment, anticipating adjustments,
fostering the longevity of master plans, and lessons learned.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, the attendees will:

   -

   Understand the importance of aligning the library facility master
   planning study with the institution's strategic direction for a period of
   3-5 years, ensuring a cohesive and forward-looking approach.
   -

   Gain insights into fostering the longevity of the master planning study,
   emphasizing its role as a strategic asset, and discovering ways to sustain
   its relevance beyond the immediate implementation period.
   -

   Learn strategies to be prepared for adjustments during the initial
   implementation phase, recognizing the need to adapt plans to current
   circumstances and unforeseen changes.

Who should attend?

Primarily library-centric, including leaders in areas of library
administration (Deans/Directors and AUL’s) and Directors of Library
Facilities/Operations.
