Sumario: | The purpose of this article is to review the literature on the term Learning Commons (LC) for academic libraries, a model that has gone from a purely physical conceptualization (focused on the material transformation of spaces to facilitate collaborative work and comfort), to a more academic and complex approach, which includes even the creation and operation of virtual environments, a librarian profile and work more academically oriented, as well as pedagogical initiatives of various kinds. Thus, a definition of this library scheme is presented according to the latest trends on the subject, listing its most important attributes and, finally, it includes a brief note about the challenges involved in setting up a space like this. |
