There's Library as Place . . . and Library as Workplace. Follow this blog to learn more about the basic principles of the Visual Workplace (VW), the related field of Visual Management (VM), and their application to modern libraries and archival facilities. The Library as Visual Workplace is more than just a signage system, it's a workplace solution!
A Visual Workplace is a self-ordering, self-explaining, self-regulating, and self-improving work environment - where what is supposed to happen does happen, on time, every time, day or night - because of visual solutions.
Visual Workplace expert Gwendolyn D. Galsworth
Visual Management is a system that adds "visual depth and consistency to an organization's messages about it's mission and goals." It does this by "converting information about the company, its customers, and its performance into graphic displays which cannot be ignored."
Visual Management experts Stewart Liff and Pamela Posey
