Building for libraries in the 21th century

Educación y biblioteca magazine dedicates its number of November/December 2004 to the library buildings. The dossier has been coordinated by Juan José Fuentes Romero and it has collaborations from experts such as Didac Martínez, Alfonso Muñoz Cosme and Santi Romero, who was responsible for the work La arquitecura de la biblioteca (The Library Architecture), published by the Colegio de Arquitectos of Catalonia (COAC).
In the monography they include an excellent bibliographic compilation: Literatura profesional sobre construcción y planificación de espacios bibliotecarios (Professional literature on construction and planning of library spaces), realized by José Pablo Gallo Arias, director of Murcia Regional Library. In the bibliographic compilation, great manuals are gathered and commented; manuals on library planning; specialized meetings; magazine complete numbers; articles, comunications and collaborations in general works; papers on theoretical, architectural and historic aspects; documents on accessibility and architectural barriers; norms and evaluation and specific sources about equipments, furniture and design aspects and planning. In this selection web resources are also offered, such as the IFLA Library Buildings and Equipment Section or the Linda Levar’s excellent site Planning and Building Libraries.
