[LIBRARYDIR] Tutoring Centers, Writing Centers, Math Labs, Speech Labs

[Vivienne Mcclendon]

Apparently many moons ago tutoring reported to the BC Library but no longer is that the case.  Tutoring is, in fact, in an adjoining space - in one spot it's so close there's only a pane of glass dividing the library and the tutoring center.  That said, "you can't get there from here" prevails due to Library security or lack thereof. (We need another gate and service desk to open that up).

One of my longer term goals is to explore the creation of a learning commons which would succeed in opening the door between the two areas plus add a few other partnerships into the mix- perhaps some limited advising or career counseling.  These could be partnerships rather than a change in reporting structure.

Good morning all,

I've been asked to look at how Skagit manages its various tutoring resources.  I was wondering how many of the library administrators have some kind of tutoring activity in their facility and/or have some responsibility for these activities.  These could include any type of tutoring support in any form, even online or outside the library.  Do any of you claim to house a "learning commons"?

Thanks,
Mindy
