Montgomery has gathered an impressive group of authors to address the many facets of space design and assessment of library learning spaces. . . . Highly recommended for any academic library that will be renovating, repurposing, or redesigning space, whether it is building a brand new building or merely shifting furniture. In other words, highly recommended for all academic libraries. * Technical Services Quarterly * A valuable contribution to the rapidly evolving field of academic library space assessment, this collection of engaging, practice-centered scholarship discusses space analysis through the wider lenses of learning theory and behavioral and environmental psychology. Equally important is the extensive coverage given to effective, informed methodological approaches to assessing the impact of the spaces we have created, and informing the design of those we envision. -- Christopher Stewart, School of Information Studies, Dominican University and Author of The Academic Library Building in the Digital Age: A Study of Construction, Planning, and Design of New Library Space
