abstract:

This study examines student use of and reaction to study spaces in academic libraries through the lenses of place attachment, including appropriation, affordance, and attention restoration theories. Experimenting with new methods of research (four of six methods were new), researchers identified the walking interview as the best for examining their research questions. They found that students identify the library as a study space, and they rely on the library and those within it to reinforce the discipline of study. Findings include more detailed insight into the “study ethos,” noise or distraction levels, decor, and other aspects of study spaces.

摘要：

本研究通过地方依恋的视角，包括挪用、可供性和注意力恢复理论，考察学生对学术图书馆学习空间的使用和反应。通过尝试新的研究方法（六种方法中有四种是新的），研究人员发现步行访谈是检查其研究问题的最佳方法。他们发现学生将图书馆视为学习空间，他们依靠图书馆和图书馆内的人来强化学习纪律。调查结果包括对学习空间的“学习风气”、噪音或干扰程度、装饰和其他方面的更详细的了解。
