Towards Understanding The Perspectives Of Space In Library And Information Centre Settings

The paper revisited the concept of space and place as perceived by philosophers, physicistsand psychologist. It summed up that space has three perspectives: physical, virtual and timeto form its tripod. Thus, space can be conceived as {a}absolute, physical, material, real, andtangible environmental place or location; {b} nonphysical, intangible, imagined, virtual andrelational continuum which may only exist in the minds, imaginations and thoughts of thebeings which include not only human beings, but animals, flying and other types of selfmoving creatures and mortals; and{c} time frame which bounds the existence, availability,relevance, rejuvenation and life circle of whatever. The general features of typical space,place and time categorisation and also as it relates to library and information centres werehighlighted. Similarly, the elements to be considered in the evaluation of both physical andvirtual spaces, places and time were considered.
