Recommendations of the Information Commons Task Force
9
Recommendation 6
Create a large, flexible
Instruction Classroom
Classroom feedback forms indicate that the demand for hands-on library instruction is at an all-time
high. As the library continues to purchase electronic resources, it becomes even more critical that we
have a facility to teach large groups. Computer classroom availability across campus is highly
competitive. Rooms often need to be reserved weeks in advance.
The Task Force recommends the creation of a 40-50 person classroom in Annex 116. This will enable
librarians to conduct larger classes with full electronic resources and A/V capability. The availability of
this space is the result of the planned relocation of the Digital Initiatives staff.
• Equipment will include a
presentation podium with computer,
desktop computers, projector, Smart
Board Sympodium, video camera,
audio system, clickers, and
classroom management software.
