| Summary: | <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>
