RESEARCH ON THE RISE OF THE"ANTI-BUILDING"IN AMERICAN ACA-DEMIC LIBRARY IN RESPONSE TO THE GROWTH OF PRINTED MATERIALS
A new central library building may not be the best answer to the problem of insufficient physical space caused by the growing collection of university libraries.This paper summarizes four building types of non-central libraries in colleges and universities,namely,building ad-dition,branch library construction,local storage facilities and remote storage facilities.Construction funds,campus site availability,print resource acquisition and storage costs,indexed abstracts and electronic access,and auto-mation of warehousing are the main factors driving the emergence and evolution of building types.Along with the research and construction of remote storage in our country,this paper will provide some experience and enlightenment for similar research and projects in our country.
