Joan Lippincott, CNI -----------------------------
Contribute to discussions about how to cultivate: · a deep appreciation of the fabric of a campus intentionally crafted to serve the institutional vision of what students are to become · a sense of libraries/information commons as ecosystems within themselves and as critical nodes in a larger set of carefully designed interstitial spaces on a campus · a commitment to spaces that move beyond “common” to become maker spaces (how might we? spaces), creativity studios, discovery centers, living rooms, and more · an awareness among students, faculty, and other users about their roles and opportunities in inhabiting, navigating, and influencing such an ecosystem. Share best practices and lessons learned (with photos) from your experience in planning and assessing common spaces. Webinar facilitators include:
