This is a favorite area for students to sit at a table. You can reach out and take a look at oddities or clip art or figure reference.
At Grand Valley State University (Allendale, Michigan) for the excellent Re-think It 2015 Conference. Here are my pictures of the beautiful Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons that opened in 2013. This is a LEED Platinum building (the first I ever visited). From their site: "The Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons is designed to be the intellectual heart of the Allendale Campus. It will exceed the expectations of anyone who thinks of a library solely as a home for printed books and whispered words. In this new library, students will find a range of environments, from noisy to quiet, in which they can work on an assignment alone or in a group; receive coaching from a peer consultant in research, writing, or presenting; practice a new skill or play with a new idea; learn something unexpectedly; engage easily with each other in spaces engineered to accommodate the sounds of natural conversation; or curl up by the fireplace in a contemplative space with the best views on campus. Students will do all of these things in a building that was crafted with their needs in mind—the right lighting, the right furniture, the right resources, the right services, the right spaces, and the right amount of flexibility. "Going to the library" will take on a whole new meaning as the Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons becomes and integral part of every student's experience at Grand Valley."

Here is an example of recognizing that the library is a meeting place. These lovely chairs are on the main floor of the library and are almost always full of lounging students and staff.
The Austrian "Linux Weeks" (Linuxwochen) consist of a series of free lectures dealing with Linux (of course), but also with free and open source software in general. As there were lectures and workshops in the university I work on May 11 and 12, 2007, we currently display books about Linux, free flow of information and open source tools in the library.
This is the poster I designed - it's featuring Linux Lass, a Linux goddess librarian, of course.

December 7, 2013 ~ It's been 20 years since I last studied in this library. A lot has changed. I'll have graduated from Rosary/Dominican 20 years ago after the new year. Hair is shorter and a lot more grey in the beard.

the shelves hosting our reference section crashed. We have some doubts about opening the library for the public. Alas, the holidays start soon.

Aside from the 2 computer labs on the 3rd floor of the Cofrin Library, patrons can also find computers scattered on the various floors throughout the library and in study rooms. The availability of computers in the library allows patrons to work on papers, do research or just keep up on e-mail as this student is doing here.

Notice that the library staff crossed out the main entry for Lessa and typed over it the joint editor, Evon Vogt.
Cambridge, MA: Looking across Harvard Yard towards Widener Library. It is named after Harry Elkins Widener, a Harvard alum, book collector, and Titanic victim. The library opened in 1915.
Construction in a library is one of the most difficult changes to manage. The unrealistic excpectation that libraries are quiet places combined with the stress of impending deadlines and tests only exacerbates the situation. This, combined with the chemical smells and air-borne particles only increases the frustration of staff and patrons. Enjoy!
Looking for materials that your instructor told you to find in the library. The Reserves are to the left of the main desk.
