A Field Guide to the Information Commons describes the emergence of the concept of the information commons in libraries and its rapid spread and adoption, and it includes a variety of contributed articles and descriptive, structured entries for various information commons in libraries. The information commons was one of the most significant trends to emerge from developments in the research library community of the late twentieth century. As a conceptual theme that could be adapted to many academic settings, it became a catalytic notion for innovative new library facilities and programs. Librarians, library administrators, academic technologists, and other interested persons will want to understand the range of opportunities presented by the information commons concept. This book, A Field Guide to the Information Commons, will provide you with a broad perspective on this trend.
