Just a small recap of your to do list for this weekend:
1-respond to the readings online (300 words).
2-research types of media materials to be housed in a library(printed AND digital), library classification systems (decimal/dewey system versus others)
3-diagram spatial & organizational requirements of a national library, with capacity of 2 million items (this will be the capacity of your library).
books are measured by linear meters of shelving instead of square meters ( The Library of Congress states that its collection fills about 838 miles (1,349 km) of bookshelves,[15] while the British Library reports about 625 kilometres (388 mi) of shelves.[16] The Library of Congress holds about 147 million items with 33 million books against approximately 150 million items with 25 million books for the British Library.[15][16] )
4-diagram relationships of your contemporary case study ( flows of users/program/site)
5-diagram your proposed program + manifesto, which should address physical & digital media culture, the role of the library and the new program( re-watch the posted video+diagrams as a good example).
Now it is all about understand the components of the public library and to rethink its role and program through diagrams.
