Abstract

For over two decades technology has been affecting the way libraries operate. Academic libraries have witnessed various changes with the advent of information technology, which brought about adjustment in physical space of the traditional academic libraries. Some traditional library services and spaces have become obsolete while new ones have been introduced. This pose a challenge to designers and library administrators in integrating the newly introduced ones with the traditional services as well as spaces. The main aim of this research is to assess the usage of spaces in academic libraries that are shifting from traditional/analogue to digital academic libraries so as to come up with a flexible model that can accommodate rapid technological changes as well as integrating the needed traditional services with the new modern services. Case study method was employed as the research method of the study, unstructured interview was designed and used to collect data of the spaces currently available as well as the spaces that have been affected by information technology.
