Successful academic libraries are happening places… but what is actually happening in them? This session will examine the social construction of academic libraries as interpreted through the experiences of its users. Amanda\u2019s research, informed by approaches developed in phenomenological psychology and environment-behaviour studies, explores the evolving role of physical libraries, their conception as “place”, and environment-behaviour aspects of the library user experience. Drawing on data gathered through semi-structured interviews, observational seating sweeps, and stories about memorable library experiences, the results of this project will help us consider the future of the library as place.<\/p>\n
