Learning Commons, sometimes referred to as Information Commons, are changing the ways libraries do things. A learning commons brings together various campus services such as the writing center and tutoring, and integrates them with library services. Space is designed to foster collaborative learning among students and faculty, and supports and provides the latest technologies needed for learning. A learning commons even meets the needs of users by providing access to food, private study spaces and comfortable furniture. Students and faculty have access to the libraries many print and electronic collections and to experts in research, writing, and technology.

This Brown Bag Lunch will explore the concept of the learning commons and how it can be implemented in your library. Come and chat with colleagues about leaning commons including:

• What exactly is a learning commons?
• What is the purpose of the learning commons?
• How much does it cost?
• How much time does it take to create a learning commons?

After the lunch there will be a tour of TC3's new Baker Learning Commons. See how TC3 implemented the concept and hear how it is working out. Don't forget to bring your lunch, ideas, and questions. We will provide the dessert.

This event is free and open to anyone interested in talking, listening and learning.
