Abstract

To acquire academic literacy students need library buildings that take account of "what the student does", changing learning styles and preparation for employment in a digital world. Equally as academic staff develop innovative e-learning activities, library spaces need to accomodate new learning opportunities. This paper aims to consider how the design of library buildings contributes to a complex and evolving range of academic literacies and emerging pedagogical frameworks. This papar also seeks to consider the contribution these literacies make to the experience of students reading for a degree in an increasingly digital environment.
