Learning commons adalah satu keperluan dimasa kini bagi memenuhi keperluan pelanggan yang kini merupakan golongan Digital Natives/Net Generation.


 

  • Transform the "library" into a "learning commons." Libraries are crucial in this age of abundant information, but only if they provide relevant support for those actively navigating the digital environment:
  • The LC is a one-stop study-shop that combines research, IT and learning support services under one roof to enhance the student experience


     

  • "Highly collaborative & integrated learning environment"
  • Learning Commons is a library technology center with collaborative spaces and interactive resources.
  • "The Learning Commons is designed with students in mind, and the space is structured as a student would lay out a study area, with pertinent resources close at hand


     

  • The area will support students' academic success by integrating information, computing and tutoring services to provide students with the resources required for group and individual educational projects and activities.


     

  • "The Learning Commons will be a bright and inviting place, full of computers and people to help with all levels of research.


     

  • In the Learning Commons, students will find electronic and print information resources, along with reference librarians to provide research consultation and assistance.


     

  • Computer workstations will offer an array of software applications and multimedia devices for the production of projects, papers, presentations, or other coursework and assignments.


     

  • Technical assistance will also be available for computing questions or problems.
