Event Information Commons 101 (ACRL e-Learning Webcast)
Is your institution in the planning phase for a library renovation or addition that includes a space that will serve as an information or learning commons? If so, this webcast will provide an overview of some of the key planning components you should take into consideration as you develop a program for the facility. Today’s information or learning commons combine access to digital and print content, access to technology, access to expert assistance, and often access to other campus services. Many institutions focus on selecting furniture and choosing equipment as they plan their commons, and they postpone discussion of some of the elements that can actually be key to the success of their facility – namely, the kinds of services that will be offered and the kinds of staff expertise that will be available.
