  1. movement in post-secondary learning, started as library + tech, also called an information commonsreconfigure student spaces and servicesreassign obsolete spaces (book shelves) for new purposescreate everything to be flexible – silent or noise, 1-3-7 students, workshops or one-on-one sessionsmaking space for the learning the students are doing NOWinvolving the students on multiple levels, from flexible mobile furniture to student advisory boards/members to student planning of programs to peer support programs; allowing students to shape their learning spaces, as well as grow in non-traditional, non-academic areas
  2. describe the current environment from a students’ perspective – confusing, fragmented, few spaces that they own or can use easily to collaborate
  3. conceptual model with many component elements – pick and choose what your budget/space/services allow always keeping in mind larger end goals (student centred, collaborative, etc.)

  5. word association... Library = ??Natural progression of some of Library functions that are not first when we think “library”.modern library is moving to not just providing access but facilitating information self-sufficiency – information rich world = life-long searchers. Information literacyLibrary as placeRecent grad experienceLibrary is information hub & meeting placeThe end product is not as important as the skills to get there. Library a place where students feel immersed in academic culture. They can concentrate when they see others around them doing the same, they find spaces to meet and work together, they get help to support their academic endeavour.
  6. easy access to information (physical or online), flexible study/meeting spaces, academic atmosphere, access to information literacy/research assistance on demand (ref desk and online)
  7. LC does not necessarily mean moving all support to a centralize location but providing some services in a hub space. Acts as marketing for the service main location.
  8. drop-in assistance or permanent hours; reference, writing, math, study skills, emotional well-being; flexible to rhythm of academic schedule
  9. Technology is enhanced and promoted.Social space: studies show students mix social with study, don’t want to go far for fuel
  10. high-end hard/software, help for hard/software, group technology spacescafe
  11. Peer programs allow our students to get the experience they need to become leaders, resume building – service component now at UBC, other institutions. Studies show students feel more comfortable with peers – doesn’t replace “expert” assistance but can act as conduit.
  12. peer tutoring, peer referrals, peer assistance (tech), peer planning of space; leadership opps for those in the peer programs. Can be paid position, honorarium or strictly volunteers QUESTIONS??
  13. Watch the video – jot down key words or concepts you hear that could enhance our work at Cap. Share with group, session.
  14. Facilitates active, independent and collaborative learning. Based on collaboration between different learning support areas in the university, facilitates collaboration between students.Responsive to the changing needs of learners for resources and support – “hills and valleys” of needFocuses on student needs, preferences and work patterns. Allows students to develop as leaders through peer support programsPart of university-wide development of learner autonomy.Provides a hub for physical and virtual interaction for staff and students.allows for interaction, experimentation with technology
  15. steeped in academia – inside “heritage core” of old Main
  16. not that flexible, but students part of planning & developmentflexible space provided outside in IK Barberrooms for events, bring university community inside
  17. flexible space provided just outside in IK Barberalso has conference space and 2 branches of UBC librariescombination of spaces is ideal LC situation:adjacent to informationtechnologypeer referralsindividual and group study space
  18. peer system – paid, trained in providing quality referrals, hired/trained for technologyno permanent services – scheduled hours based on hills and valleys of term
  19. LEAP, collaborative efforts of various support/tech departments
  20. much more modest implementationfaculty/expert drivenconceptual rather than physical with small virtual componentcollaboration with faculty for referralsfocus is on student services, not collaborationpeer program – honorarium for peer tutors. 1st years get peers only, higher levels get expert/faculty assistance
  21. social/academic – line is very blurred for students; want space to do both, flip back and forth
  22. work in groups
