[LM_NET] SHARE-->Article on Re-purposing Libraries

["Debra W. Waugh" <debwaugh.lm_net@FRONTIERNET.NET>]

Got a Google alert on a great article today. Here are a couple of quotes:



"...inside it has all the modern amenities students expect. Now, between
classes, students come here to read in silence and work in teams, with
regular breaks to chat with friends or visit the coffee bar."



"...there's a lot of talk these days about an idea called "the third space."
Many colleges have plenty of buildings that were designed for either living
or working. But they're short on "third spaces" - spots where communities
naturally gather and interact."
