This common space that is a combination of classic reference, information, technology, and social atmosphere has been designed to meet the needs of all faculty and students in a central location (Harland, 2011). Pamela Harland (2011) described her high school’s transformation into a learning commons as going from a simple library to a workshop environment where students could access Kindles to download books, borrow high quality digital cameras for recording video and taking pictures, type papers, research for projects and papers, receive help from librarians and technological staff, and just socialize. Harland (2011) suggested that changes can be simple at first. In her library’s transformation, allowing students to rearrange furniture to suit their needs, making supplies like glue sticks and scissors more accessible, removing the barrier-like checkout desk and replacing it with a friendlier kiosk made immense impacts on student usage of the space Harland’s (2011) experience is not unique in the fact that many universities and community colleges, like Plymouth State University’s Lamson Library which Harland toured prior to embarking on her own library’s transformation, began to make the switch

Davidson discussed this when she stated, “we would be giving out free iPods to every member of the entering first-year class, there were no conditions. We simply asked students to dream up learning applications […] and we invited them to pitch their ideas to the faculty” (49). Giving these students free range on the application of the devices for an educational purpose, it provided them an environment where they can use their individual strengths to solve a problem at hand.
