- W116763340 abstract "Introduction If you are thinking about implementing an Information Commons at your library—and who isn’t at least thinking?—what should it look like? What do your patrons want and need? How will you find out? And then... what difference will it make? The following describes several methodologies available for librarians to explore, on an individualized basis, what their own patron base wants, needs, and will benefit from. This includes the use of output data to guide design, and outcome data to explore the effects, of an information commons installation. These methodologies were used in the design and implementation of an information/academic commons area at the University Library (UL) of Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). IUPUI in many ways is a balkanized campus: various “schools” affiliated with either Indiana University or Purdue University, with separate enrollment, teaching, and research endeavors offer a variety of degrees, and enjoy (or are burdened with) significant financial independence. The library is one of the services for which each “responsibility center” is taxed.1 Because it serves the entire campus, it is one of the most visible symbols and realities of the campus as a whole, and part of the building’s facade is incorporated into the campus logo. The 30,000 students the UL serves in this urban setting are almost entirely commuters and largely parttime. Like professors elsewhere, but especially on a campus dedicated to workforce development in the central part of the state, IUPUI faculty with an eye to preparing students for a future workplace have incorporated technological and information-rich group work projects into their courses—a development documented in library exit surveys through the years.2 Like libraries elsewhere, the UL, with a strong emphasis on technological leadership, is determined to provide the physical tools and intellectual services, the library-as-place learning environment, which will serve those student needs. Starting in the fall of 2005, the UL took an evidence-based approach to the design and development of new “academic commons” areas in their building. Using space freed by reducing current print periodical shelving, a 40-seat area was designed with a variety of computer workstation arrangements. This was studied with observations via security cameras, surveys of users at all computer stations, and select interviews.
