Jennifer says emphasis is still on using physical resources in a physical space.\u00a0Hampshire&#8217;s founding documents state that we would &#8220;avoid the cultural pathology of print&#8221; and wanted the library to be a multi modal space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">Hampshire\u00a0will go back to Mellon in the future to explore\u00a0programmatic changes to the library primarily focused around humanities related areas. Staffing &amp; training will be\u00a0a focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">Strategic Planning Process Updates: Sharing of preliminary strategic planning document with initial projects listed. These projects are being scoped out in greater detail, they have been approved, costing will be provided to board 11\/10 and then capital campaigning will commence. A6 is LLC project, and A8 project is about building up academic support services. Many of the projects listed in the &#8220;A&#8221; section all tie together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">Robert Crown Center: \u00a0Strategic Priority C4 is renovating the RCC into a holistic heath center and tying it in to the LLC.\u00a0 These two projects will come together in a larger conceptually combined project which is the &#8220;Knowledge and Wellness Commons&#8221;. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">The LLC is farther along we may lead the way and\/or prototype concepts that the RCC project could take under advisement. Theme at Designing Library conference was to start small, and fail small and prototype as much as possible.\u00a0Here in the library we have been prototyping some services ie; the PARC mentors which was a test of having academic support services here, and the Writing Center has held help sessions in the library.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">Some LLC-related prototypes are going to move forward in the Airport Lounge with Carla Costa in the lead and she will work with various student groups (HSU, Rehamping) and departments. Kick off meeting October 23rd.\u00a0In that space we may be able to open up the offices in the back of that space to create quiet and interactive group study space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">Larger campus space decisions will impact the Learning Commons. Committee will look forward to learning more about the prospect of the Multisport Center project creating space for\u00a0Duplications and Campus Police .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">Committee Composition:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">Last year we were charged as an Ad-Hoc steering committee. Going forward we will need an LLC Oversight Committee to make sure project keeps its focus on academic core. The committee composition will adjust to broaden student representation and ensure curricular involvement across the schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">Moving forward: immediate goals from planning grant are to\u00a0expose ourselves to what&#8217;s happening at other institutions, and to being process of developing our service and space plans. Which to do first?\u00a0Jennifer thinks it is probably wise to meet with BrightSpot and get our service model outlined, THEN go visit other institutions when we can really talk with them about their project and how it relate to ours. Most agree!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">Next Steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">Committee will be modestly recomposed for this next phase of planning to adjust for committee members other commitments and a desire for more student representation and cross-curicular representation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">Jennifer will schedule monthly meetings and will post the meeting schedule on the LLC blog.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">Next meeting we will hear about APL prototyping projects.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">Jennifer is going to talk to Brightspot about plan of work with them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">Committee members will\u00a0plan some local field trips as noted above.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Library Learning Commons 10\/10\/2014 Hill Urbina<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":304,"featured_media":969,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19381],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-planning","column","threecol","has-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4972"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/304"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4972\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/theharold\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
