Library Remodel
Shown is a typical library project at e
High Schools and Middle Schools.libraries were designed for the popof students they currently serve. Bas
todays standards they are inadequate
It is not always possible to physically ethe footprint of the building due to sit
budget constraints. Schools often h
make due with the space they havmodernize per the available funds.
Because there were no computers andmodern devices when these libraries
constructed, quick fixes have employed to adapt new technologies
upgrades have often resulted
nonfunctional and hazardous laSeveral programs have contribute
improving libraries, but the conceptlibrary requires re-examination.

Library RemodelShown is a project at an existing
elementary school. Even existing
elementary schools are short onspace. To accommodate larger
populations of students thenschools were initially designed for,
valuable classroom spaces havebeen re-purposed to be used aslibraries. Over 100 similar
renovations have occurred atelementary schools at LAUSD.
Although the conversion programshave been successful for literacy
programs, classes have oftenbeen accommodated in portable
buildings.

Envisioning how libraries will be affected by the development of
new technologies, and the changing needs and expectations of
users, is more than an intellectual exercise. What schools anticipate
as necessary to provide users future information needs affects how
they choose to direct their resources today.
L ibr ar y o f t h e Fu t u r eReconfiguring Existing Library
Rethinking the historical model of the library may be the challenge. Our traditionof libraries is rows of books flanked by access aisles. The addition of reading descomputer workstations further enhanced the requirements of the schools library.
The majority of existing LAUSD school library sites do not conform to accessibility or up to date technology requirements and are due for an upgrade.
This is an opportunity to rethink how we access and use information today. The iis an omnipresent force in how we acquire information, and hard bound booprinted newsletters have lost their exclusivity. This trend will only increase in theand the reliance on printed media will be less and less. Even seasoned media and major publishers are cutting back substantially.
In reconfiguring the existing library, consider the use of the computer as primgathering data and books to be stored and accessed when necessary. From st
surveyed, information is acquired via internet sources over 90% of the time traditional books, magazines and maps.
In rethinking the Library of the Future, we might adapt the over used yet extinsightful quote by Architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe, less is more, and in fatranslated into better use of less space.
The library becomes a media/computer lab of sorts, considerably eliminating rowrows of access walkways. The new library becomes a gateway into a woinformation beyond the perimeters of the school. The new layout will also includegroup collaboration areas to encourage intellectual discussion and team buildingThis new reuse of space will eliminate the expansion of the footprint of the builaltering the buildings historical status. Accessibility and electrical upgrades will required, including renovation design and construction.

The Renovation
Renovate existing library to serve as amedia center with electronic book accesssystems. Commonly requested book titleswill be available in the library and in highdensity book shelves. The scope will includeADA, ITD upgrades without adding costlyexpansion to the building envelope.
Reconfiguring the existing Library to accommodateaccessibility requirements and new computer based researchand learning will address current needs and trends. Old andobsolete book collections will be removed or stored to makeroom for modern up to date collections. Overflow of books willbe located in high density book shelves in the space directlybehind the reference desk.
Copying and printing stations will be set-up inthe library back-room for student use.
Expand existing back room area adjacent tolibrary. Add high density shelving in backroom, leaving more open space in library andarea to provide necessary ADA upgrades.
A Successful Library Plan
In order for the Library of the Future concept to be successful, LAUSD must have a commitment to managing the information technology infrastructure. The newLibrary will have to be updated with hardware and software, and the systems must be maintained regularly. Obsolete systems should be replaced in a timely manner tobring the most benefit to the school and the students.
In addition, an ongoing professional development program needs to be established along with staffing, and long term funding considerations. Developing neweducational programs that not only teach how to use new technology, but to maintain and service it are necessary requirements for the Libraries of the Future. This isan inevitable result and consequence of the information age. The sooner we embrace the concept as a school district the more efficiently we can serve the children ofLos Angeles.

Existing Libraries
The Original LAUSD Libraries were built to serve half or one third of the current population of students. The building trend has laggbehind to match the actual school growth.
Due to high design, construction cost and simply increasing the building footprint on the highly impacted school sites, it has becomextremely challenging to upgrade the schools.
More profoundly, the school sites were created during an era when most of the technology we use today was not even invented.Adapting the existing sites has been an ongoing challenge.
ADA, Building Code & DSA Challenges
Due to ADA, Building Code & DSA challenges, most of the existing libraries are not compliant in some form. Adapting to the currenrequirements will require further reduction of book stacks due to the creation of accessible aisles, seismic anchoring and therefore,further reducing book containment capacity.
If the school district doubled the square footage of each library at each school, the book count for the student population would stillinsufficient including extremely expense to stock and manage.
The LAUSD GoalThe goal of the Los Angeles Unified School should be to create electronic book and access systems by expanding the existing LADigital Library, the established Los Angeles Public Digital Library System and a verity of other libraries.
The electronic books will not eliminate individual library collections, but rather support them. Giving students and the school commaccess to expanded book collections like never before. The electronic access to books and media will allow space for growth andprovide modern and up-to-date collections of books and other media which can be shared and can add more value to the students community they serve.
Currently the LAUSD libraries are unable to expand physically due to budget constraints and other facilities related concerns. Duelack of space the schools are hesitant to expand their collections, therefore resulting in outdated matter. Often, the overflow of bookput into storage spaces and storage bins and made inaccessible to the students.

Library of the Future
It is important to recognize that there are ngood reasons to design school libraries th
are based on outdated models. Everyoneinvolved in the planning of new and existinschool libraries should work together toachieve innovative design.
Recognizing that instructional technology library programs overlap in so many waysand that benefits can be reaped with staffmembers working closely as a team rathethan as separate entities. School officials strive for a philosophical, functional, andphysical merger of the school library with tIT program. Teachers can work with (andlearn from) students, school librarians, andstaff; and School libraries can become aplace that will continue to endure in theinew modern form as an essential part of
learning process.
The new form the library takes should beeasily adaptable to evolving advances intechnology and provide seamless transitioas new ideas and techniques emerge.
The library can expand programs beyond
library walls and create virtual librariescapable of reaching and serving studentswherever they are, both at and away fromschool.

Using personalization technology to profile subscriber interests
The mobile Internet represents a massive opportunity for mobile operators and content providers. Todaythere are more than 2 billion mobile subscribers, with well over 3 billion predicted by the 2008. However,despite significant improvements in handsets, infrastructure, content, and charging models, mobile usersare still struggling to access and locate relevant content and services.
Info Glut. With Just too much information available, it is difficult to decipher what is reliable. An
important part of this so-called content-discovery problem relates to the navigation effort that users mustinvest in browsing and searching for mobile content. Using personalization technology to profilesubscriber interests in order to automatically adapt mobile portals to their learned preferences.
The School Board can review and define their perimeters, and these perimeters can be specified furtherby a teachers academic plan and then the student user. A result can be set a learning plan or series ofarticles set-up for people to access at anytime in the school library or anywhere else.
The facilities goal would be to set up the construction and Information Technology infrastructure forcurrent use, future advances and growth.
Information Wall
The concept for the Information Wall features computer screens mounted on glass panels. Thisallows for one on one interaction with the media user, yet does no isolate the individual while workingfor long periods of time. The screens can be set-up with general reading material or the book of theweek for example. The user can adjust the heights of the monitors and can use them sitting orstanding. Assisted listening devices can be plugged in for use.
