Future of Academic Libraries

while doing a bit of research for my work I found this:

The David B. Weigle Information Commons, on the first floor (west) of the Van Pelt Dietrich Library Center, supports collaborative learning and group activities using the latest technologies. Our program partners - CWiC, Weingarten Learning Resources Center and Writing Center - and Penn Libraries staff assist students with research, writing, public speaking and study strategies.

The Commons includes Group Study Rooms, Data Diner Booths, Alcove Meeting Areas, Seminar Room and the Vitale Digital Media Lab.

The Commons includes laptops, plasma display screens, video-recording rooms, clickers, media authoring capabilities (video, audio, imaging, web publishing) and an equipment lending program. The Commons provides one-on-one and small-group assistance with research skills, time & project management, writing, communication skills and technology . . .
