Research on the Information Commons in the University Library

Information commons is a highly integrated information service mode and a space for people to study and communication which could just meet the needs of modern people. Information commons is very popular abroad, especially in university libraries, but is very rare at home until recently. Information commons could adjust to people's needs for information and study as well as for training information capacity which could promote the libraries' value and social status and promote the better educated urban construction. Thus, the libraries should carry out their own reform in order to improve information commons rapidly.
