And I'm not just saying that because it's a close synonym to my last name ;-) The library also gives us permission to uni-task. Which is becoming harder to get from our other spaces...

We have some survey data (somewhere) where students say the #1 reason they study at the library is that it is "not the dorm". The library is where you go to get away ... to find sanctuary.

Schneider Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:38:22 +0000 http://freerangelibrarian.com/?p=2991#comment-804267 David, that is indeed a great article. I should have cited it because it was in the back of my mind when I wrote this piece; its title page is sitting in my backpack at work -- I took a pile of C&RLs to ALA with me and when I liked an article I ripped its page so I could later add it to Refworks. Also valuable is an article shared on Jenica's blog from LJ last fall called Clemson's Roadmap. David, that is indeed a great article.
