The most recent edition of Tech Therapy examines The Future of College Libraries. They talk about planning library spaces. It’s all a bit basic, but they provide a good overview of some of the big issues.
My workshop on Tuesday seemed to go well. I had very engaged and participatory attendees which makes all the difference in the world.
As I promised the group, I have uploaded my presentation to my slideshare space and it can be found here.
Rudy Leon, the new Learning Commons Librarian at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign’s Undergraduate Library posted a request to try and make a list of other “learning commons” librarians. I spoke with Rudy at Internet Librarian and she and I talked about trying to have a more vocal and collaborative relationship with other librarians who run a learning/library/information commons. Her request is a first step in that direction. So, if you are in charge of a commons and want to connect to a larger community, please go to her blog and respond!
