Additional Comments
“Our Learning Commons, like many others in academic libraries, is heavily populated with undergraduates.
Yet we also know that graduate students use the collections intensively and may not have other space on
campus in which to work.”
“Site visits are planned to other libraries.”
“We are interested in creating a space similar to the one for faculty at Valparaiso University where faculty are
given a group office, any may use it, but each academic year a faculty member is selected to use the office as
their permanent office and is then responsible for developing programming for other faculty.”
“We have a strong partnership with our central computing organization and partnering with them figures
prominently in our planning.”
