Description

Identifying the Need--The 1992 Library Review The Report of the 1992 University of Otago Library Review Panel (1) stated that there were significant shortfalls in library accommodation across the whole university library system--a decentralised but centrally managed library with six branches. For instance, the Central Library building (opened in 1965) was designed to accommodate 250,000 volumes and 500 reader places. By 1991 it held more than 500,000 volumes and 908 reader places. Each reader place was, on average, an inadequate 1.8[m.sup.2]. (2) Width of aisles averaged 0.8m but a few aisles were a barely accessible 0.65m.
