Something New!
Building a Learning Commons Together
"a dynamic, interactive environment"
Western Libraries has launched a new Learning Commons across the main floor of its Haggard Hall and Wilson Library wings that will support teaching and learning.
Like many academic libraries across the country, we seek to develop a space where collaboration and face-to-face interaction are the hallmarks. At a time when social learning spaces have never been more important, the libraries offers compelling possibilities that few other campus locations can.
In its first phase, Western Libraries is pleased to bring together several programs committed to developing a synergistic supportive approach. Check out:
For more information about the Learning Commons vision and partners, visit our website. If you have a suggestion about what you'd like to see in the Commons, please do tell because we really do want to build it together. Contact carmen.werder@wwu.edu.

This Issue's Great Tip
How do I add or check my print balance? Where are the e-reserves? How do I search for place names by latitude and longitude? Each of these questions and many more have answers that you can find using our growing Ask Us service.
You can ask a librarian your questions directly through live chat, text message (360-797-5910), and Twitter (@Ask_WWU_Lib), or you can search our database of past answers to other people’s questions to find the one you are looking for. The more questions we get from you the more answers we will have in our database so you can get answers when you want them.
You can find Ask Us by clicking on the button to the left side of most library pages. Or you can ask a question now by going to: http://askus.library.wwu.edu/.

Did You Know? Bellingham Public Library and your Western Libraries are like...this. Really, really close. It’s almost like having a branch of BPL right on campus.
