Library space is important to graduate students
• 64% University of Minnesota grad students rated library space as very or somewhat important as a place for research and study.
• NYU LibQual+ and interviews at NYU indicated grad students’ high expectations for, and vocal disappointment in, library space.
• Graduate students need, and typically don’t have, offices.

Some key questions
• What really works as library spaces for graduate students, and will this be what is needed 10 years from now?
• What elements/ services can turn pleasant spaces into intellectually stimulating, energizing and supportive communities?
• Do graduate students need different online communities beyond or within those created for scholars already active in a discipline?
