Designing the smaller library: a hospital looks to the future.
Like other libraries, hospital libraries are preparing for a future which will include a mix, as yet undetermined, of print and electronic information. This case study relates how the library at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital was designed to meet the needs of users and staff and to balance them with the need for more sophisticated methods of retrieving, storing, and delivering information. Details are provided on planning process and on design features such as lighting and color.
