    5. Notes from the Past
      • “ Staff in the School of Information Systems at the University…say that within five years they will not need a physical library. All their requirements will be met by the Web.”
        • -David Baker, 1998
    6. Notes from the Past
      • “ A scenario gaining increasing currency is that the arrival of information superhighways, together with the development of ever more user-friendly software and cheaper hardware spells the end of the need for libraries and librarians. It is an endless debate — unless it eventually happens.”
        • -Ross Shimmon, 1995
    7. Notes from the Past
      • “ The library should become less a place and more of a process.”
        • -William F. Birdsall, 1994
      • “ it is important not to see a visual image, since we are dealing with a process, not an entity.”
        • -Patricia Battin, 1984
      • “ The notion that the library is a place will give way to the recognition that it is a network of information, more a concept than a building, an abstraction.”
        • -James Govan, 1987
    8. Notes from the Past
      • “ A library could take shape within a computer where users literally enter through the doors of a virtual building, see stacks and books on the shelves, browse the catalogue, select a volume, open and read a text, converse with a librarian at a remote location and finally check out their chosen material.”
        • -Jonathan Willson, 1995
    9. Second life
    10. Predictions
      • Close physical libraries
      • Become an “abstraction”
      • Integrate into virtual reality
      • “ The idea of a learning commons…is pretty mainstream now. But if you had suggested such a thing four or five years ago, people would have said ‘You want to do what with my space?’ Today, you’re in trouble if you don’t have one.”
        • -Joseph Branin, last week

    16. Common Concepts
      • Constructivist theory of learning
      • “ learners construct knowledge by understanding new information building on their current understanding and expertise.”
        • -Malcolm Brown, 2005
    17. Common Concepts
      • Four assumptions about educational environments:
      • Space can facilitate or hinder learning
      • Effects of environment are moderated by other factors
      • Space should match teaching objectives, learning styles, and social setting
      • Space should be treated same as materials and preparation
        • -Ken A. Graetz, Michael J. Goliber, 2002
    18. Common Concepts
      • “ In places they see the best support for their way of working, they feel safe and so return frequently, knowing they can move through material and concepts on their own terms. In places where they feel discomfort, a lack of connection to space and infrastructure, they leave.”
        • -Alan R. Cattier, 2006
    19. Common Concepts
