College adopts digital approach to library collection in new Learning Commons area to provide students more flexibility
Once the changes are complete, the place students go to conduct their research and receive tutoring/testing will no longer be dominated books on shelves.
Roughly half of the space formerly occupied by row upon row of bookshelves has been replaced with new furniture in open areas to be used as collaborative gathering spaces, complemented by individual study areas. “That’s all-new content that was never available before, and what’s beneficial about digital content is we’ll be able to organize the information to make it easier for students to discover,” said Albarracin. “Students can focus their time on completing assignments rather than spending that time finding sources to start the assignment.”
CNC wants to eventually have a 4:1 ratio of digital material compared to the physical content of its collection. With more space and fewer books, the college will have room to have the Learning Commons and Academic Success Centre sharing the same space that currently houses the library.
