Three Years of an Information Commons Partnership: Lessons Learned and Future Directions at Loyola University Chicago

In January 2008, Loyola University Chicago opened a state-of-the-art information commons (IC) operated by the University Libraries and Information Technology Services (ITS). The award-winning building has become the center of campus intellectual life, a technology hub, and a gathering place for Loyola students and faculty. The success of the project has been due in large part to the Library-ITS partnership which has stressed close cooperation and communication from the initial planning through implementation to day-to-day operations. There have been challenges along the way but these have been met by managers and front-line staff working together. The briefing will describe the management of the IC, lessons learned, changes made, and future directions in an effort to help others who are plannning an IC or similar service.
