Abstract

During autumn 2015 we conducted a large qualitative user study on our library as a learning space. The purpose of the study was to find evidence regarding user needs, in order to be able to make well-informed decisions for a development project.
The paper will discuss both the usefulness of qualitative methods in understanding
students’ and researchers’ needs and requirements when using the library, and how you can work with the collected data as a base for development.
