Driven first by ubiquitous networked access to information, then by the changing nature of the student experience, notions of library space design have been transformed. Today, a fundamentally new type of library is needed. The Taylor Family Digital Library (TFDL) at the University of Calgary is widely recognized as an instantiation of this new library. A $205M project opened in 2011, the TFDL represents a library not built for permanent housing of collections, but for people interacting in permeable and flexible spaces.engUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
