Welcome

This blog serves as a directory to library websites (224 as of 5/3/13) where you can find models of the innovation that started as the information commons and has evolved into the learrning commons, knowledge commons and many variations.

Scroll down for links to planning documents, conference presentations, online articles and other blogs that might be useful.

I'll also be posting on other matters that point the way to innovations and interesting ideas on how libraries can improve the learning environment.
