Rethinking Space and Services – Academic Libraries as Learning Hubs
Christine Glaser
Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany
This talk explores the transformation of academic libraries to dynamic learning environments. With the shift from Teaching Libraries to Learning Libraries, higher education institutions are reimagining library spaces to support hybrid learning models, digital and information literacy, and self-directed learning. This talk will examine key trends in library-based competence development, the integration of digital and physical learning environments, and the evolving role of academic libraries as service-oriented learning hubs.
Key discussion points:
• The impact of digitalization on academic libraries and their role in higher education.
• The role of libraries in fostering digital and information literacy skills.
• Strategies for designing learning spaces that integrate physical and digital learning needs.
• Case studies of successful library transformations in higher education.
