Library works to create Information Commons

By Hannah Bowman

There are some interesting new developments happening at the John Vaughan Library.
“We are planning an Information Commons and would like the input of Students, Staff and Faculty," said Brandon Oberg, instructor of Library Services.
That is right; the library is in the planning process of adapting the first floor into an Information Commons and wants some input on it.  The concept is new so, Library Focus Group sessions are being hosted. This is in order to allow all different views and wants to be discussed and debated. More meeting space, access to video equipment, and functions or materials are just a few of the hot topics discussed.
The first of four sessions will be in Library Lab Room 105 Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2 p.m. – 3 p.m.  The sessions will last 45 to 90 minutes and food will be available to attendees. Space is limited however, so those wishing to attend will have to RSVP for one of the 10-15 slots by contacting either Brandon Oberg - oberg@nsuok.edu, Dana Letts - letts@nsuok.edu, or Rachel Whitaker - whitakra@nsuok.edu . For more information refer to the NSU student calendar.
