• Resumen

  • Today, it is necessary to use bookless libraries due to the increasing addition of new scientific articles and documents to previous sources and other related problems. Therefore, the present study aimed to provide a model for introducing the interior architecture indexes in the design of such libraries for the faculties of arts and architecture through a case study, i.e. the library of the Faculty of Arts and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, South Tehran Branch. The study is a quantitative study in terms of its nature, subject, and objectives with a positivist approach. The study population included the students of the faculty. The sampling method is stratified random sampling. The study was conducted in eight steps. In the first step, library sources were used to collect the data, including books and reliable scientific articles. The second step included the Internet sources such as leading scientific journals to identify the scientific design indexes for bookless libraries. In the third step, 39 indexes were selected to develop a questionnaire. In the fourth step, the questionnaire validity and reliability were measured through content validity using supervisor professor’s opinion and Cronbach’s alpha, respectively. In the fifth step, the questionnaires were distributed among the students to seek their comments on the acceptance or non-acceptance of each index. In the sixth step, the data obtained from the questionnaires collected were divided into three groups: environmental psychology, interior architecture, and digital equipment and furniture. The data were analyzed using SPSS. In the seventh step, the hypotheses of the study were tested using Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, 1-sample t-Test, and independent t-Test. In the eighth step, the final results were obtained to prioritize the interior design indexes. According to the results, the indexes with a mean above 4 have the highest value and were recognized as the most important design indexes in the main category, and the indexes with a value of more than 3.5 were introduced as the second most important indexes. Finally, it could be concluded that the mentioned indexes provide an appropriate space for the students in the form of a bookless library.
