Abstract:

Space value evaluation is one of the hottest topics in the library world. Using TEALS(Tool for the Evaluation of Academic Library Spaces) developed by Deakin University Library, thisarticle designed a survey to investigate the space needs of three middle school libraries in Wuxi City,and identified the evaluation indexes. The results showed that the spatial layouts of the three middleschool libraries are not conducive to student engagement. The libraries should take measures to meetthe needs. Also, this article constructed a space value evaluations cloud image model, analyzed anddiscussed attributes of the cloud image, and put forward corresponding suggestions for library space valueevaluation of the domestic middle school libraries.
