The Library of the University of Vale do Taquari – Univates is considered one of the most modern libraries in Brazil. Univates Library draws attention not only for its physical structure, but also for the technologies adopted by the institution that generate an impact on the routine of the library staff and on the experience of its users.
“The Univates Library was designed to be a space for study and welcoming. It was also designed to be an extremely technological library”, says Fernanda Storck Pinheiro, vice-rector and pro-dean of education, who adds that “all this makes it easier for us to attract, in a way, the students and the community. That way, they don’t feel intimidated by the technology, on the contrary, they use the space and feel welcomed.”
