This book examines successfully planned and implemented Learning Commons (this term refers to library spaces devoted to computer access activities) at several different academic institutions around the world. These case studies provide a methodology for effective planning, implementation and assessment. Practical information is provided on how to collaborate with campus stakeholders, how to do the budgeting, staffing, determine equipment, hardware and software needs. Also provided are memorandum of understandings (MOUs), planning checklists and assessment tools are also provided. This book reflects a unifying focus on both the evolution of learning commons to learning spaces and the collaborative aspect for co-creating learning spaces.
