PRECONFERENCE 1Location: MacEwan Student Centre, University of Calgary Stronger Together: Thinking Through the Intersection of Space Design and Organizational ChangeFacilitators
Speakers
As we plan for changes in our library spaces – whether via renovation, additions, or new buildings – how can we ensure that our organizations evolve to realize the full transformational potential in these new environments? Libraries can optimize the opportunities that new spaces offer for enriched service programs and new, expanded relationships with faculty, students, and staff from other institutional units. This workshop will encourage individuals and institutional teams to think through the challenges and opportunities for their organizations while redesigning spaces. Segments of the workshop will address leading organizational change, engaging staff in innovation, new service models, and staff spaces. Through a combination of panels and group activities, participants will understand key challenges and opportunities for organizational change presented by library space design. Audience Intended outcomes: Participants will be
Please note that the main topics will address organizational change within the context of space design rather than design issues on their own.

PRECONFERENCE 2Location: High Density Library (morning) & Lab NEXT, 3rd Floor, Taylor Family Digital Library (afternoon) Organizational Change, Facilities, and Workflow Redesign**Buses will leave from the north entrance of MacEwan Student Centre at 8:30 and provide return transportation to MacEwan Hall at 12:00.** Speakers:
As research libraries reposition their roles on their campuses and beyond, organizational change, space redesign, and workflow re-engineering present new opportunities. This pre-conference will focus on such developments at the University of Calgary, where an expanded facility reflects significant programmatic change, and at the University of Minnesota, where a functional re-envisioning of library operations has led to substantial change in recent years. Claudette Cloutier and Annie Murray will discuss the design and construction of the expanded high-density storage facility that doubled the capacity of the existing high-density storage through the installation of new automated 30-foot high shelving. This facility also includes new staff areas for metadata services, archival processing, art storage, a conservation lab, expanded cold storage, and an audiovisual digital migration and reformatting studio. This portion of the preconference will include a tour of the new facility (located 20 minutes’ drive from the main campus), followed by two presentations about the impact of organizational change and workflow redesign: Tom Hickerson will focus on the impact of the expanded High Density Library on the organizational and logistical footprint. Leonora Crema will discuss what new opportunities arise when ‘the collection has left the building,’ including more curatorial uses of space and expanded stewardship roles on campus and within shared print networks. John Butler will present a case study of the results and impact over time of a substantive organizational realignment that included the integration of Metadata Services with Technology Services at the University of Minnesota. Bus transportation will be provided to and from the High Density Library, with arrival back at main campus for lunch.
