The Public Library Construction Process: From Problem Recognition To Ribbon Snipping
By Frederick A. Schlipf and John A. Moorman
This outline was originally prepared to accompany the authors' presentation at the 1999 PLA conference. It has been modified and expanded since that time.
The outline focuses on the responsibilities facing library trustees and staff, and the space devoted to each topic in the outline reflects this concern rather than the actual amount of work to be done by hired experts and contractors.
Because this outline covers the construction process, it includes relatively little material on what constitutes good and bad library design.
