| Abstract | In Fall 2016, the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto launched its newly renovated Inforum Library. While the redesigned learning space facilitates key collaborative activity (i.e. group assignments), little assessment has been conducted to evaluate the ‘library as place’ and how students actually utilize the space for such a purpose (Ferria et al., 2017). By observing the Inforum library and coordinating interviews, this paper examines how graduate students use the new group study hubs to work collaboratively. Through a spatial lens, the behaviors and needs of users will be both unveiled and examined. In addition, this study can guide future design of collaborative spaces and assessment efforts in the library. |
