Let's Talk Learning Spaces Talk Show

The second season of the online radio show Let’s Talk Learning Spaces will return on August 28th 11:30AM (EST). The show will discuss and share information about best practices for policies, procedures, services, research, and technology in regards to learning spaces, i.e. learning/information commons. This platform will enable us to have live conversations with colleagues across the globe, while using radio as an additional communication tool to the forums information specialists presently use to communicate.

Some of the topics among many others will be:
·         Progression of the O’Kelly Library: ( implementation of new information & ideas)
·         Assessing the value of the information commons/libraries services with student achievement
·         The role of the blended librarian
·         Information commons in small libraries
·         Selected case studies of information commons





Let’s collaborate to make a more effective and efficient commons for the 21st century learner!
