Students Sip and Study

Students are taking advantage of the newest study spot on campus, which gives them access to video equipment check-out and provides beyond-basic software on its computers. The PJ's Coffee bar and lounge area brings a nontraditional feel to the first floor of the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, where the Learning Commons opened this fall.

Watch the video of Lance Query, dean of libraries and academic information resources, along with Derek Toten, director of instructional media and learning spaces, as they talk about the collaboration of academic and technology assistance available to students.

The busy new Learning Commons "is not a 'Shhh!' part of the library," says Lance Query, dean of libraries and academic
information resources, in this video produced by Alicia Duplessis Jasmin.
