About the Author :
Marta Mestrovic Deyrup is a head of Technical Services as well as liaison to modern and classical languages and English at Seton Hall University Libraries.

Review :
A guide to the establishment of a public or academic library, Deyrup's overview outlines priorities. The thirteen chapters coordinate the writings of sixteen experts in architecture, interior design, and library services. Essential to the planning stages, descriptions of community and campus evaluations and user needs precede the hiring of structural consultants. . . . This text is recommended for an audience needing a guide for the titular purpose. By gathering the best of the best in one volume, Dr. Deyrup enables librarians to better plan and integrate design changes in libraries that will serve the technological and cultural needs of their patrons. . . . Primarily aimed at academic and public libraries, librarians can read the entire book or pick and choose which chapters to read depending on their level of involvement in the renovation process. Having just undergone major renovation projects at two of our three library locations, I wish this book had been published a couple of years earlier as I know that all the staff could have benefited from this comprehensive volume. As several chapter authors point out, new buildings must take on the challenge of planning not just for the present but also for the future. With the accelerated pace of growth and change in the library field, that is no simple task, but Creating the High-Functioning Library Space is an excellent place to start. . . . I recommend this book in its entirety to any librarian considering a renovation in the future. I also recommend relevant chapters to librarians at any stage of a current renovation who need guidance on a specific issue. This book is a must read for anyone considering or engaged in a library design or redesign project, whether librarians, technologists, architects or designers. I would recommend buying multiple copies for everyone on your project team and your administration because everyone involved in library space planning should read this book.
