Prioritization Notes

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

The information commons will be a key hub for the Library that will aid students and faculty. This high-tech commons will be a state of the art application that will utilize the latest computing technology (hardware and software), to facilitate our information needs. As we move further into the information age, the delivery of library services through technology becomes increasingly important. Budgeting and implementing the latest phase of improvements to the Library recognizes the need for these changes.
