Our sources of information, and the practices we use to find it,
are in a period of rapid flux. Libraries must respond by selecting,
acquiring, and making accessible a host of new information
resources, developing innovative services, and building different
types of spaces to support changing user behaviors and patterns of
learning. A Field Guide to the Information Commons describes an
emerging library service model that embodies all three spheres of
response: new information resources, collaborative service
programs, and redesigned staff and user spaces. Technology has
enabled new forms of information-seeking behavior and scholarship,
causing a renovation of libraries that revisits the idea of the
"commons" a public place that is free to be used by everyone. A
Field Guide to the Information Commons describes the emergence,
growth, and adoption of the concept of the information commons in
libraries. This book includes a variety of contributed articles,
and descriptive, structured entries for various information commons
in libraries across the country and around the world.
