Learning Laboratory
To promote the intellectual growth of student information scientists, a dynamic learning environment must be established.
While some of the tools in your learning laboratory will be physical materials, others will be virtual. Turn your center into an information commons and engaging environment for exploring text, graphics, audio, and video. Think outside the traditional resources and tools found in a traditional library.
