Circle of Service: The Commons at the University of Tennessee

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Spring 2006 Project Briefings / Circle of Service: The Commons at the University of Tennessee

April 5, 2006

Barbara I. Dewey
Dean of Libraries
University of Tennessee

Julie K. Little
Associate CIO and Executive Director, Innovative Technologies Center
University of Tennessee

The Commons is a collaborative partnership between the University of Tennessee Office of Information Technology and the University Libraries to connect students and faculty with tools and information to be successful learners and teachers in the 21st century. A true partnership and next generation facility, the Commons emphasizes the “Circle of Service” philosophy and serves as a model for the campus and beyond.

Our presentation will discuss the following:
• Establishing the vision, guiding principles, and philosophy
• Cultivating support from various campus constituencies
• Building a new circle of service model to encompass the entire 2nd floor of a large research library facility, Hodges Library
• Proving the concept through boot-strapping resources with implementation of phase I completed in less than six months
• Using results as a model for campus-wide information services including articulating indicators of success
