{"product_id":"9780810866508","title":"A Field Guide to the Information Commons","description":"Our sources of information, and the practices we use to find it, are in a period of rapid flux. Libraries must respond by selecting, acquiring, and making accessible a host of new information resources, developing innovative services, and building different types of spaces to support changing user behaviors and patterns of learning. A Field Guide to the Information Commons describes an emerging library service model that embodies all three spheres of response: new information resources, collaborative service programs, and redesigned staff and user spaces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnology has enabled new forms of information-seeking behavior and scholarship, causing a renovation of libraries that revisits the idea of the \"commons\"—a public place that is free to be used by everyone. A Field Guide to the Information Commons describes the emergence, growth, and adoption of the concept of the information commons in libraries. This book includes a variety of contributed articles, and descriptive, structured entries for various information commons in libraries across the country and around the world.","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109517803760,"sku":"9780810866508","price":80.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780810866508_p0.jpg?v=1763740266","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780810866508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
