“…This section presents an explanation of the core aspects of blended library concepts (Heilig et al, 2011;Reiterer et al, 2016;Swope et al, 2016). To summarise, the fundamental factors and key conceptual components of a blended library encompass a combination of physical and digital elements aimed at providing users with comprehensive support and services.…”

“…This chapter discussed the concept, elements, and components of a blended library (Benyon, 2012;Cowell, 2018;Heilig et al, 2011;Reiterer et al, 2009;Sinclair, 2009), and how the term blended library has not been used consistently in the literature. However, previous studies about the blended library have only focused on the view and perceptions of the library and librarians, and most are conceptual studies (Asadi & Jamali, 2011;Bell & Shank, 2004;Bogorin et al, 2013;De lima et al, 2017;Heilig et al, 2011;Perini, 2016;Reiterer et al, 2009;Reiterer et al, 2016;Sinclair, 2009). There are not many studies on the academic blended library, focusing on the students' perception, and these do not cover how it specifically affects students' learning.…”

“…The figure above presents the blended library design, which comprised the relationship and connection between the blended elements of space (Benyon, 2012), namely ontology, topology, volatility, and agency (see section 3.2), and the attributes of learning space (Cunningham & Tabur, 2012), in the context of students' learning.

Exploring Academic Blended Libraries: A Study of Student Experiences

The academic library is an essential service provided by the university to support the learning of its students. Libraries nowadays offer more than print collections and often emphasise the resources that can be accessed online to cater to diverse users' needs. Previous studies have highlighted the advantages of combining physical and digital libraries - the emergence of the "blended library". The blended library is a ubiquitous environment that supports users' needs, which in this study are undergraduate students, by combining physical and digital elements homogeneously to create an environment in which reality and virtuality do not compete, but rather merge in a user-friendly way. A well-designed academic library that suits students' learning needs can genuinely become a transcendent learning space that can support students' learning needs. Indeed, the library has always been more than a warehouse for recorded knowledge, rather, it provides a place for contemplation, integration, and creation of new ideas or knowledge.Existing research about the blended library has mainly focused on the library and librarians' view and perceptions and are mostly conceptual studies. There are not many empirical studies on the academic blended library, focusing on the students' perception, and previous studies have emphasised the need to verify the impact of a blended library on students' learning experience because extant literature lacks empirical evidence and understanding of this aspect. This study addressed the gaps in literature by providing empirical evidence through an investigation of the student experience of the blended library and how its design affects their learning experience.The study employed a qualitative research design. The research draws on Benyon's blended space theory, which has found application in various domains but remains relatively unexplored in the library context. By adopting a qualitative approach, the study examined how students perceive and engage with the University of Auckland blended libraries. Data were collected through document analysis, interviews, observations and focus group discussions, providing insights into the barriers and enablers influencing students' use and learning experiences within these environments.The findings reveal that the design of blended libraries significantly affects students' learning experience and their use of the library. Libraries that prioritise accessibility, customisability, and ease of use for both physical and digital spaces create an environment that encourages students to utilise library learning resources and support services. Furthermore, involving students in the planning and development of library spaces fosters a sense of ownership and ensures that library designs align with their needs and expectations.The study also highlights the need for libraries to enhance support for students who bring their own devices (BYOD) to the library. Robust Wi-Fi connections, an adequate number of power outlets, and versatile library applications are found to be essential to accommodate the increasing use of personal devices in library spaces.Additionally, it underscores the importance of adapting theoretical frameworks in library context, such as Benyon's blended space theory, to address the unique challenges and opportunities presented by academic blended libraries in the digital age.In conclusion, this research contributes to the understanding of academic blended libraries and their impact on student experiences and learning outcomes. It offers valuable recommendations for library practitioners and designers to enhance the blended library environment and better support students in their academic pursuits.

ZusammenfassungUm Open-Access-Publikationen stärker in den Wahrnehmungsbereich der Bibliotheksbenutzer zu bringen, ist es notwendig, sie besser sichtbar zu machen. Im visOA-Projekt, das von der NTNM-Bibliothek des INM durchgeführt wurde, wurden Open-Access-Publikationen sowohl im OPAC als auch im Discovery-System und in den Publikationslisten des INM deutlich hervorgehoben. Eine selbstprogrammierte virtuelle Zeitschriftenanzeige (VIDIJO)1 bietet eine fachspezifische Auswahl von Open-Access-Zeitschriften. Die Wirksamkeit der im Projekt ergriffenen Maßnahmen wurde durch Begleitforschung überprüft.

Zielstellung der Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines Konzepts für eine Anwendung zur Überwindung des Medienbruchs zwischen physischen und elektronischen Ressourcen am Regal für die Bibliothek der Technischen Hochschule Wildau. Als Ausgangspunkte dafür werden ein bereits bestehender Prototyp sowie die Ergebnisse eines Kickoff-Meetings mit Kolleg/innen der Hochschulbibliothek und des iCampus-Teams der Technischen Hochschule Wildau genutzt. Zunächst wird dabei die Problematik des Medienbruchs in Bibliotheken erläutert und bestehende Ansätze zur Lösung des Problems skizziert. Es folgen bibliothekarische Vorbetrachtungen zur Standortermittlung, Sacherschließung und Aufstellung in Bibliotheken gefolgt von kurzen technischen Vorbetrachtungen zur Art der App und verwendbaren Frameworks. Anschließend wird der Ist-Zustand dargestellt. Dazu werden die Ausgangsvoraussetzungen an der Hochschulbibliothek sowie Funktionen und Architektur des bestehenden Prototyps beschrieben. Schließlich werden die Stakeholder ermittelt und anhand Personas beschrieben, bevor die funktionalen und nicht funktionalen Anforderungen erfasst werden. Den Hauptteil der Arbeit stellt das Konzept für die Anwendung dar. Im darauffolgenden Kapitel wird die Implementierung der Integration entliehener Bände, der Vormerkfunktion sowie der Durchschaltung zum E-Book beschrieben. In den Schlussbetrachtungen schließlich wird ein Fazit gezogen, aufgefallene Probleme erläutert und ein Ausblick auf Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten geworfen.
