Purpose – Libraries are exploring the meaning of the “information commons” and have responded to the technological needs of the diversity of digital access trends. The purpose of this conceptual article is to explore the possibilities of the next step of developing dynamic “learning commons” using examples of projects and ideas presented by librarians in the field. Design/methodology/approach – The “learning commons” model has the potential to be a laboratory for students, librarians and faculty. It is a collaboration space and requires partnerships and cooperation across disciplines. Ideas about user behavior and types of projects to be explored are included. Findings – Funding for learning commons is linked to measured outcomes. The role of the librarian changes to include advocacy and project planning. Practical implications – This paper demonstrates that the change in library service via the learning commons concept requires planning, interdisciplinary collaboration and a certain amount of risk taking. Originality/value – This paper is useful for librarians who are designing and/or implementing “learning commons” spaces and concepts into their libraries and library services.
