25、RP-4-131IES RP-4-131.0 INTRODUCTIONThe last time the IES published a “Recommended Practice of Library Lighting” was in July 1973. Much has changed since then. New lighting techniques and equipment as well as new and more efficient light sources provide the lighting designer with the tools to meet th
26、e varied visual tasks encountered in todays libraries. This document has been written for use by lighting design professionals, architects, engineers, library administrators, librarians and educators to pro-vide useful practical information that will help produce an energy efficient and pleasing lig
27、hted environment. This new Recommended Practice provides design criteria for the many different types of spaces found within todays libraries. This document addresses the many and varied visual tasks encountered by users and staff during the course of their activities in libraries of all types. As e
28、nergy criteria have gained predominance throughout our society, so too has a focus on light quality. The relationship between energy demand and light quality is evident within this document. With the diversity of tasks occurring within a library, as well as the differing ages of the target audience,
29、 it is not possible to provide complete comprehensive recommendations for every possible situation. It will always be necessary for the lighting designer to have a clear understanding of the visual tasks and the demographic of the primary audience to determine if the recommendations presented in thi
30、s document are appropriate to the actual conditions encountered and to make the modifications required. 2.0 TYPES OF LIBRARIES AND TASKSThe physical nature of libraries has changed sig-nificantly since this Recommended Practice was last published. Among the features that have become common in librar
31、ies since then are: hard-wired computer workstations, wireless communications systems, laptop computers and electronic readers, increasing numbers of meeting spaces (ranging from large meeting rooms to conference rooms and auditoriums to small study rooms), computer and digital content creation labs
32、, book stacks open to library users, compact shelving, improved acces-sibility for users with disabilities, and increasing emphasis on flexible, multi-function library spaces. Each of these new features has led to changes in library building design, library illumination require-ments and controls.2.
33、1 Types of LibrariesLibrarians divide libraries into four basic types: pub-lic libraries, school libraries, special libraries, and Figure 1: St. Paul Central Library first opened its doors to the public in 1917. During the 90 years that followed, the original architecture of the grand reading room h
34、ad been concealed and the lighting “updated”. The architecture of the space has been restored to its original beauty and the latest lighting update includes historically re-created lighting that dims in response to available daylight.

35、IES RP-4-13academic and research libraries. Librarians see the distinctions among these types as important, and the profession is organized on that basis. All types of libraries have basic functions and lighting needs in common. All have shelving and other storage for books and other library materia
36、ls, work space for users, and work space for staff. All need low-glare lighting suitable for a variety of tasks, including read-ing and computer use. Some of the greatest light-ing challenges occur in the many surviving historic libraries (see Figure 1).2.1.1 Public Libraries Public libraries are li
37、brar-ies for general public use. The majority are govern-ment owned, but a significant number are private. Most community public library systems consist of a single building providing all the required library func-tions. However, larger library service areas may be served by central libraries supple
38、mented by one or more branches. Public library buildings vary in size, but most are less than 100,000 square feet, and the majority of them are much smaller. Virtually all public libraries include book stacks (shelving arranged in rows), study tables, public computer workstations, soft seating and l
39、ounge areas, play spaces for children, exhibit spaces, staff service desks, multi-function meeting rooms, study rooms, story hour and craft rooms, widespread use of laptop comput-ers supported by wireless service, computer labs, special collections (typically local history and gene-alogy), staff wor
40、kspaces, restrooms, server rooms, exterior walk-up and drive-up services. Some public libraries have bookmobile garages.Large central public libraries may have auditoriums with sloped floors for major programs, large book stack units, major exhibit spaces, central administra-tive offices, and housin
41、g for delivery vans to transfer material to branches.2.1.2 School Libraries School libraries serve elementary and secondary schools. These libraries exist to support the curricular needs of their schools. The majority of school libraries are relatively small, with all services except staff workspace
42、s provided in a single room. Like small public libraries, school libraries have shelving, reading tables, computer workstations, and wireless service, but they typi-cally lack soft seating for leisure reading. Almost all have enough seating to allow an entire class to visit. Depending on the mission
43、 of the individual library, a school library may incorporate computer labs, stag-ing areas for the schools audio-visual services, and other facilities to meet special requirements.2.1.3 Special Libraries Special libraries serve institutions with specific needs for information and for support of rese
44、arch in narrowly-defined areas. The most common special libraries are medical and law libraries, but there are thousands of special libraries serving businesses, government agencies, associa-tions, and industries. Physically, special libraries are much like other small libraries; the primary distinc
45、-tion between special libraries and other libraries lies in the intense subject expertise of their staffs and the high level of sophisticated personal service they provide to their sponsoring agencies. Special libraries have many of the same characteristics and requirements as academic and research
46、libraries. Frequently, special libraries consist of one or two rooms in larger structures.2.1.4 Academic and Research Libraries The majority of academic and research libraries serve colleges and universities, where they support both curriculum and research. They vary widely in size, reflecting acade
47、mic scope and the caliber of the institutions they serve. Undergraduate libraries serve undergraduate colleges, but they can also be found as separate units in large universities, where the comprehensive research collections may have restricted access. Some departmental libraries in university libra
48、ries are structurally similar to special libraries. Academic libraries store books both in perimeter shelving in reading rooms and in book stack units. Seating is commonly provided at reading tables, car-rels, and soft seating.Academic libraries have computer workstations in a variety of configurati
49、ons, including various groupings such as “information commons.” Virtually all aca-demic libraries provide wireless high-speed internet access, and seating throughout libraries must be Figure 2: Adjustable accent lighting emphasizes the verticality of the room and exhibit features.
