2006FallQ1

Question #1
One of the interesting developments in library services has been the notion of the “information commons” where the traditional reference desk and the computer services help desk have been brought together in one integrated service point. This trend also builds on the fact that many libraries are now responsible for a large number of public-use computers. What are the assets and the liabilities of moving from the “library” to the “information commons” model?
