UK's Information Commons Now Open

Next time you are in Lexington, be sure to stop by the William T Young Library and visit UK's new Information Commons, the Hub @ WT's.  The Hub opened for service on Monday, March 5, and our official Grand Opening ceremony will be Tuesday, March 27 at 10 am.

I love the concept of the information commons, and I am so happy to be involved in UK's project from the early stages.  It's wonderful to see students congregating around our new whiteboards, using our new computers, collaborating together in small groups.  Students are slowly approaching us at our new information desk, and I remember how much I enjoyed helping students directly.  In our information commons work group, we spent so much time researching what other institutions were doing and developing our own ideas.  Seeing it all come together is so exciting.
