Designing modern libraries is a complex process involving many stakeholders and participants. Libraries of all types work with an almost limitless range of constituent groups for input, buy-in and successful implementation. Collaboration partners across the spectrum can include the local community, our students, faculty and campus partners, architects and designers, donors, governing bodies, local municipal, university, state and national decision makers and facilities personnel. Successful libraries and library design reflect successful collaboration. The IFLA Library Buildings and Equipment section (LBE) is hosting a two-day satellite conference to be held at the Illinois Institute of Technology in vibrant Chicago. We are looking for proposals that address any areas of collaboration leading to successful library design and innovative use. Proposals can be individual or team presentations, research studies, case studies or panel discussions.
