Notes:
The original Information
Commons website has been archived and will be maintained "because
it may be of interest to those who may be considering developing their
own Information Commons." It includes links to planning documents
(including a detailed Vision and Mission Statement as well as clearly
stated Desired Outcomes), press releases, a communications strategy
"to introduce the Information Commons, its underlying philosophy
and benefits to the University Community in a manner that results
in an appreciation and use of the facility on campus."
The facility includes 13 collaborative workrooms
and two
classrooms for information literacy.
