LIGHT PERCEPTION IN MUSEUM AND LIBRARY

INTRODUCTION:

In the modern information society, libraries and information centres have a new
role to play. This is due to increasing use of web-based information sources and
electronic services. Libraries are also being managed in a more democratic way
due to flexible communication system and efficient work organisation. Their
services are also user-centric. A museum is a not-for-profit, permanent institution in
the service of society that researches, collects, conserves, interprets and exhibits
tangible and intangible heritage .

AIM:
"To understand the role of a public library not only as a storage of books for
individual development but also in terms of community growth." The research aims
to understand the how light and shadow creates space qualitative and quantitative in
aspects of museum and reading space in library.

OBJECTIVES
1. To study the activity chart of a conventional library and design it into a
multifunctional space
2. Provide public access to major collections of the world's literature and knowledge,
including the community's own literature, either through temporary reading or
membership by providing an opportunity for the community to develop the skills and
attitudes which will encourage usage of the space.
3. To achieve individual as well as community learning and also meet the educational
needs of children and young people.
4. To create a research organization by providing public access to the internet as well
as information in traditional formats.
5. Merging the community art and books with qualitative space.
7.Analyzing the consideration in aspect of lighting.
8.Findings and discussion of different strategies of natural lighting and shadow in
design.

NEED of STUDY:
• Collect and provide books as well as other non-book materials to help the people to
become aware of the thinking of others and to think and act independently.
• Foster and promote the spread of knowledge, education and culture;

6. To build a collection of functions which will tend to be more reliable and of higher
quality information. A more meaningful use of technology for research purposes.
Psychological, physiological and experiential components are observed in the
museum environment to analyze lighting design within its exhibits.
Design possibilities with light in museum are however not only limited to the display
of art. Research shows how light is able to upgrade exhibition spaces to become
qualitative cultural brands – ranging from the exhibition & sculpture garden to the
shop & café .

LIMITATIONS:
I. There is no well-known accepted criteria/standard for evaluating the public
libraries at
national level.
2. The evaluation of the users on the library resources and services are not always
reliable as these are based on their limited needs and views.
3. A majority of the users are not aware of the various roles of public libraries in the
community and these may indirectly reflect in their perceptions.
This is a primary reason why conventional libraries are losing its importance, due to
introduction of digital formats in these libraries.
