4.5. Current issues
Based on the literature review, the authors compiled a list of current issues related to physical office environment in technical
services. The survey asked respondents for their opinions on those current issues; see Appendix E in Supplementary data.
In a separate question, the survey asked respondents how important it was to them for the physical office environment to be
green (e.g., to be designed with sustainability and the environment in mind); see Table 13. Out of the 358 respondents, 64%
considered it “very important” or “important” for the physical office environment to be green.
The survey asked respondents whether their libraries should encourage them to participate in the planning and designing of
the physical office environment; see Table 14. Out of the 358 respondents, 82% thought that their libraries should “definitely” or
“probably” encourage them to participate in the planning and designing of their physical office environment.
