New Learning Commons merging supports for CNC students

PRINCE GEORGE- CNC’s library is getting a makeover with a redefined purpose and name to reflect the evolving needs of students. The Learning Commons is a revision from the traditional library experience, moving towards collaborative spaces, digital resources, and a focus on academic supports.

“We want to save the time of the learner, explained Ignacio Albarracin, director of CNC’s Learning Commons and Academic Success. If we can point students towards reliable content that will work for their class, regardless of where they are or which campus they attend, the more likely they are to use the library in the future.”

To minimize time and geographic barriers for students, 50,000 physical materials have already been replaced with electronic content. The additions include over 200,000 e-books, streaming videos, and podcasts.
