The Practical Handbook of Library Construction deals with all aspects of building and equipping a library. It covers planning, site selection, exterior facilities, space allotment, tendering, financing, laws and standards, library facilities, technical infrastructure, transport systems, classroom spaces, and barrier-free design. The handbook includes an extensive bibliography. Weltweit und auch in Deutschland ist ein anhaltender Boom beim Bau von Bibliotheken, z.T. als Leuchtturmprojekte, zu beobachten. Die beiden Herausgeber Klaus Ulrich Werner und Petra Hauke sind in Deutschland sowie international (IFLA) bereits mit mehreren Veröffentlichungen zum Thema hervorgetreten. Das „Praxishandbuch Bibliotheksbau" behandelt – z. T. anhand von beispielhaften Projekten – systematisch alle Themen, die sich mit dem Bau und der Ausstattung von Bibliotheken beschäftigen: von der Planung über die Standortwahl, die Außenanlagen, das Raumprogramm, Normen und Vorschriften, Bibliothekseinrichtung, technische Infrastruktur, Transportsysteme, Kinder-, Jugend- und Schulbibliotheken, Schulungsräume, Barrierefreiheit etc. bis zum Umzug, dem Gebäudemanagement und der Evaluierung nach Bezug. Der Band enthält zudem eine umfangreiche Bibliografie. Die Autoren sind erfahrene, z.T. namhafte Architekten und Bibliothekare, die sich bereits mit den angesprochenen Themen profiliert haben. Zielgruppe des Bandes sind Planer, Architekten, Innenraumgestalter, Bauherren und Bibliotheksleiter, die mit der Planung, dem Umbau oder Ausbau oder der Modernisierung von Bibliotheken beschäftigt sind. Ein deutschsprachiges Handbuch, das alle betreffenden Themen in dieser Geschlossenheit abbildet, fehlte bisher.

Going Green is now a national issue, and patrons expect their library to respond in the same way many corporations have. Libraries are going green with logos on their websites, programs for the public, and a host of other initiatives. This is the first book to focus strictly on the library's role in going green, helping you with collection development, disposal, and recycling issues; green equipment, technology, and facilities; programming ideas with supporting tables and figures; and ways to get the community involved in the process.--From publisher description.
