Information Commons at Dickinson College
The Information Commons (IC) opened in September 2002. Created by a
joint project of Information Technology and the Dickinson College
Library, the IC was the result of a structured planning process within
the library that looked at all space needs, the changing nature of
student research, the emergence of new forms of digital scholarship, and
the changing nature of the student body. In addition to creating a
vital center for student and faculty technology use, the IC focused the
library's effort to assert its role as the common intellectual space of
the college. The design of the facility departs from similar
facilities in its openness and simplicity and reflects an intention to
allow its use to evolve as naturally as possible over time.
