The maps depict the evolution of a university library over the past five years, highlighting the modifications made to its layout and facilities.
Overall, the library has undergone substantial modernization, with the central and eastern sections experiencing the most significant transformations. While the entrance and some bookshelves remain unchanged, the introduction of technology-focused areas and private study spaces reflects a shift toward enhanced learning and collaboration.
In the central area, the former study tables have been replaced by a cluster of private study spaces, catering to individual learning needs. The bookshelves, previously dominating the layout, have been streamlined, with those in the southern section modernized to accommodate new resources. Adjacent to these, a new desk for students using laptops has been installed, replacing the outdated desk with computers and the nearby library office, which has been converted into a conference room to support group activities.
To the west, the classroom has been supplanted by a recording studio, indicating a move toward multimedia resources. The meeting room, however, remains intact, preserving its original function. In the northern section, the book borrowing and return areas, once combined, have been separated into distinct zones, complemented by the addition of a help desk to assist users. These changes collectively illustrate the library’s adaptation to contemporary educational demands.
