Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
Chapter 1 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 54, no. 1), “Library Spaces and Smart Buildings: Technology, Metrics, and Iterative Design”
Chapter 1 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 54, no. 1), “Library Spaces and Smart Buildings: Technology, Metrics, and Iterative Design,” introduces space metrics and smart buildings and discusses how recent technological advances can help librarians measure use in their library spaces. Having solid data that looks at use of library spaces, such as data collected by sensors, can provide librarians an ability to answer questions about how their space is used and with insight on planning for the future. The chapter introduces you to the technology that makes this possible—Internet of Things, computer vision, and artificial intelligence—and presents an overview of what’s covered in the report.
