Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology


One two storey library here - another industrial design which shares space with a number of other services. Here the library does manage computers for students within the library, but students also have access to other computer labs on campus. This was the first day back after holidays for students and by lunch time the library was quite full of them. It is obviously a popular place to hang out.

  1. Great pictures Jill! When I zoom in I can even read the screens. I notice the use of large display screens... Do any display student work?

    Do libraries with a learning commons have an online/virtual learning commons as well?

  2. Thanks Roger. As far as I can tell, there seems to varying degrees of interactivity in terms of librarys' online presences. Some have more control over their websites than others. Some have library staff whose role it is to investigate new technologies and how they might be utilised.
