Abstract

The development of the “cybrary” within the last 15 years represents both a conceptual and a structural change in traditional library design. Clients now conceive of libraries as more than book repositories, and expect that planners will incorporate many of the multifaceted features they want in their designs. The challenge for many planners rests, however, in bringing the design plan to realization. In this article, the author discusses these issues with Dr Harold Shill of PSU‐Harrisburg, who was responsible for coordinating its new library design and construction project.
