Information Commons

By now many people have heard about the new Information Commons to be built in the library. Here are some answers to questions we've been getting..


What is an information commons? It's a place for students to interact, get research assistance, and work in groups together or individually on course assignments. It will contain a range of study experiences, from individual computer carrels to small group study areas with internet access or without to individual work areas and comfy chairs to group areas where you can practice presentations.

Where will it be? In the quiet study area, behind the circulation desk?

When will it be ready? We hope it will be ready when classes start this Fall.

If you have any other questions, please ask us.
