1.    NEWS
A.    RENOVATION FOR INFORMATION COMMONS
Work is currently underway at Fogler Library to create an "Information Commons." An Information Commons is a space where information can be accessed, absorbed, and actively used for reports and projects.

Fogler Library and Information Technologies are rearranging computer workstations and furniture to establish an Information Commons on the first floor of Fogler Library. Work will continue throughout the summer. This new Information Commons will provide a space for students to interact, to get technology support and research assistance, and to work together in groups or individually on course assignments.

More information is available at: http://www.library.umaine.edu/about/info_commons.htm
