C. The United States Veterans Administration has prepared tables to indicate library
space assignments which are based on the
number of beds in different types of hospitals .
They are hoping by the use of these tables to
determine through a computer the square footage to be assigned in a library for each group
of space users, library staff, hospital staff,
patients, shelving equipment, and so forth
B . The California State Department of Education in 1955 included this statement in A
Restudy of the Needs of California in Higher
Education .
Libraries .-Total library space requirements,
including study halls and all library-staff
work areas, were computed on the basis of the
following estimates :
1 . Reading rooms and study halls, including
circulation desks and staff offices : 30 net
square feet per station and one station for
every four full-time students, or 7 .5 net square
feet per full-time student .
2 . Collections housing the volumes listed
below, including work areas, assuming progressively greater use of closed stacks as
collections increase in size, and the use of
central storage facilities for the larger collections :
