I was a Mortenson fellow in 2005, and there was no talk of LC then. I have been pleasantly surprised about the strides your University has made since then.

We, at the University of Botswana are also transitioning from traditinal Information commons evironment, if you like to learning commons. our greatest challenge is to find a founding Learning commons coordinator – so we are advertising for one, if you know someone who is seasoned and has travelled this route, this is the person we are looking for

cheers

Edwin

Welcome to the world of the commons. When I accepted my position at Lied Library at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, I inherited an Information Commons and have worked to expand the services and technology options for our students.

I recently got to visit the Hub, meet Stacey, and discover her blog. If you haven’t subscribed to Uncommon Commons, I recommend doing so since it’s a great resource.

The University of Kentucky’s commons is very focused on partnerships with other campus services. We’ve been open for less than two years and have really created buzz on campus as the place to go. I share a lot of information about our commons, “the Hub” on my blog, the Uncommon Commons. I’m glad you are putting together a list of us–let’s stay in touch.

Our modus operandi at Champlain is very similar: we are a Learning Commons through and through. We try to create an environment where students can explore and engage with librarians, with student services, with professors, with other students. It is different and presents different challenges than traditional library models but the rewards are many. Congratulations! If you see Allen, tell him I am thinking of him.
