Results from SCONUL survey • About the statistics

o 23 libraries selected (including all Design Award Winners 2013)

o Trends from from 2009/10 to 2011/12

o Looked at Total Study Spaces, Open Access Workstations, Spaces with Wireless Connections, Spaces with Fixed Network Connections

Overview 09/10-10/11 “sample” Sector has seen a small rise in the number of

study spaces Nature of study space provision has changed

more radically Total number of spaces which might be

described as “IT enabled” has increased dramatically by 44.28%

Trend has been to equip more study spaces with IT – by providing “fixed IT and wireless coverage with power

Drop in network connections but no wireless - massive 77.38%

Spaces with wireless coverage might be even higher now – change in criteria for reporting

Even so 113% increse in spaces with network coverage - showing move to supporting BYOD.

Design Award Libraries and technology Lots of different models of management

Access to technology central to all in design and service delivery

Library staff are involved strategically in the integration of IT

Wireless is ubiquitous, providing power is a challenge

BYOD is on the increase

Student support model varies, though Libraries in the front line

Limited work on future support for BYOD

Summary: Creating flexible learning spaces Learning space is important! Learning spaces are being planned with delivery of

services and resources through IT BYOD is on the increase What is the device to follow – smartphones not being

used for academic purposes, nor tablets Issue seems to be portability of the favourite device –

the laptop – this will change! But is this all? Our spaces need to be generously equipped with

wireless and power Power – how do we deliver in a flexible environment? Our flexibility of design can be challenged by the

continuing demand for fixed IT We need to be in touch with the students, to

understand their current needs and anticipate those of the future
