Appendix 3: Summary of the Evaluation of the Seminar „The Effective Library”

The seminar in Leipzig was the 10 Seminar of The LIBER Architecture Group. During the years the Architecture Group has tried to organize the seminars in different ways, but every time with a strong focus on presentation of projects, library visits and to give room for the opportunity for the participants to exchange experiences between colleagues. Another main point is to bring librarians and architects together in order to create a better understanding between these two professions regarding library-building projects. The seminar venue in March 2002 was not in a library but the Leipzig Trade Fair (Leipziger Messe) in the outskirts of Leipzig and in connection with the annual Leipzig Book Fair. There were connections from town centre by tram.
