<strong>Saint</strong> John’s will soon begin the transformation <strong>of</strong> Alcuin Library into a<br />
learning commons. The project will combine 35,000 square feet <strong>of</strong> new<br />
construction with 70,000 square feet <strong>of</strong> renovation to Alcuin to create a<br />
learning space that supports the way students learn in the 21st century.<br />
in Common<br />
<strong>and</strong> learning will change Alcuin Library<br />
Now, librarians tweet on Twitter. They blog<br />
about books. They send text messages. They<br />
straddle two eras–print <strong>and</strong> digital. They negotiate<br />
the transition between those eras to<br />
create a new model that merges physical <strong>and</strong><br />
virtual environments.<br />
