Just as the information commons model unites electronic and print resources to create a single point of access to all of a library’s holdings, the faculty commons aims to provide high-level support for faculty engaged in electronic teaching, publication, and research. Bailey, an acknowledged expert in the field, presents the definitive text on the subject by
  • Laying out a brief historical development of the nascent faculty commons
  • Drawing parameters for defining and designing the faculty commons
  • Suggesting ways to customize iterations and permutations for implementation
  • Offering exemplary case studies from practice
Supported with abundant bibliographic resources, this book surveys the current landscape and offers best practices for planners and practitioners interested in creating their own faculty commons.
