Assuming that the design of the library will take place within an existing building, the first items that need to be considered are the availabilities of the utilities, if you desire a workroom area that might use water or have a need for clean up concerns, then the location of that room will be directly associated with the location of the existing plumbing facilities. So that the consideration of such utilities will be different If the library is small and the facilities of a toilet are nearby as opposed to being very large and a distance from such services. It helps to create models on paper or with toys which can be easily maneuvered before such decisions are made.

Our new (2 y.o) vertical campus has no food service and no lounge for students or teachers. Eating consists of "eat out" or "eat at your desk." It is hard to enforce a no food or drink policy in a library when I've got a coffee cup on my desk and have to eat lunch at my desk. We were able to get a dorm size refrigerator and small coffee maker for the library. Our only luck is that the water fountain for the coffee maker is right outside. What seems ideal to some (the designers) is a headache to others (the rest of us).

I was hired in after. We do not have a sink and I would have advocated to have one. We have a small refridgerator and a microwave. I have to go across the hall to the restroom in order to get water or I walk to the executive offices which is not in close proximity to the library (they have a larger sink to wash serving pieces). I would definitely suggest putting a sink in if you have the choice.

We can start by putting that presentation on the Wiki (if possible with her permission from the proceedings). I love the idea of a downloadable podcast. In my previous reply I forgot to mention the work-room with a sink, safe exists, computer connection, space for copier and public catalog. It is also a good idea for a presentation at the Texas convention.

There are two articles about distinctive library collections. It occurs to me how little most Jewish library users know about the existence of special collections. Would it be feasible to develop a documentary DVD which highlighted these collections? Synagogues are always looking for programs and this presentation would not only be generally informative, but could be used to develop interest and awareness of Judaica Librarianship. Further, synagogues interested in fostering their own libraries could use this as an introduction to the particular attributes of their own collections. Is anything like this available? Any thoughts?
