Faculty input on Library Learning Commons

2 01 2013

Passing along a TAG-related request from my Library colleague Sheli McHugh:

In celebration of the Library’s 20th Anniversary, we have been doing fundraising toward future improvements. One of the goals is to implement a Learning Commons into the library, most likely in our 24 hour spaces. Learning Commons are collaborative flexible spaces often including a digital media lab with software, hardware, gadgets and more.

The Learning Commons committee will be conducting focus groups with faculty to gather information on technology that they need and want for themselves and their students and we’d like to invite you to attend.   It will be mainly a brainstorming session, so bring your imaginations! Don’t be afraid to dream big!

The sessions will be held on the following dates and times:

Monday, January 21 at 9:30 AM in WML305

Tuesday, January 22 at 9:30 AM in WML306

Wednesday, January 23 at 3 PM in WML305

Thursday, January 24 at 3 PM in WML305

If you’d like to sign up, please email Sheli McHugh. Feel free to share the invitation with colleagues who may be interested in attending a meeting.

Thank you for your assistance! We look forward to speaking with you!
