Abstract
<p class="Abstract">The objective of this study is to define<span lang="IN">s </span>production <span lang="IN">space </span>related to functional shift of
 library <span lang="IN">space</span> into third
 space. This study refers to the theory of Lefebvre (1991) on social practice.
 Space in Lefebvre’s terminology is always a social space, so library space is
 assumed to be a social product. This study used ethnography with <span lang="IN">six</span> digital native users as informants
 collected purposively. The data collection techniques were observation,
 interview, and literature study. The result showed that there was functional
 shift in UGM library <span lang="IN">space</span>
 which <span lang="IN">were</span> initially only for
 studying, then they became third space. UGM library <span lang="IN">space</span> as social space is inseparable from
 and always related with social realities around them. UGM library is an
 intellectual knowledge institution where library users interact in physical and
 virtual environments to expand learning and facilitate the creation of new
 knowledge. In this context, library <span lang="IN">space is</span> produced in such a way to preserve the dominant, so a
 social space <span lang="IN">only can</span> be
 produced through socio-historical relation. Third space is a space formed from
 reproduction space (living space) due to integration on the space experienced
 and understood. The layout practice in UGM Library <span lang="IN">space</span> showed that digital native users used
 them for various things.<o:p></o:p></p>
Highlights
Lefebvre states that space is a part of a production of the historical process which covers intersections of time, space, and social creature which lead to the materialization of social life. It means social space emerges as a chain which connects various activity networks which includes the material dimension of the interaction
The research concludes that the spatial practice of digital native users and gadget consumption in UGM Library space produced their lifestyle and identity
The spatial practice of digital native users on the rooms in UGM Library showed a new interpretation of the library space in the context of reality
Summary
A previous study on library space related with digital natives was performed by Donkai, Toshimori, Mizoue (2011) which shows that the characteristics of digital natives’ learning style prefer visual communication and they will learn better by exploration than merely receiving materials in the classroom. To explain the functional shift of UGM Library space into the production of third space for digital native users, the present study only focused on spatial practice
