The Library as Place Masterclass 2010 - space, service and technology
Tuesday 7 September 2010 - Manchester
CILIP Events have just announced dates for their brand new 'The Library as Place' Masterclass workshops which offer participants an interactive one-day event with formal presentations delivered by industry experts.
These fully participative Masterclass events lay the groundwork for library design, planning and building improvement projects. Using case studies delegates will find out how to evaluate space needs and identify options for improvement. Each event focuses on interaction with the presenters and between participating delegates. The aim is to ensure all participants gain in-depth, hands on experience and solutions they can immediately apply in their workplace.
Learn to evaluate and identify options for improving your library
The Masterclass will consist of:
. Architectural planning concerns including: collections, staff and user services
. Planning exercises
. Visual Scan involving a library tour
. Data gathering techniques
. Case studies

An integral part of these events is the Visual Scan(c) library tour which empowers attendees to look at library space differently and is an effective proven technique for transferring planning knowledge. For more information on the visual scan tour visit http://www.cilip.org.uk/libraryplace2010/pages/visualscan.aspx
As these events are restricted to a maximum of 35 delegates immediate booking is recommended. For more details and to book your place, visit www.cilip.org.uk/librayplace2010
