This Week @ AU

Members of the Board of Trustees and the president and chief executive officer of EBSCO Industries Inc., Dixon Brooke, will hold the dedication of the new Learning Commons in Auburn University's Ralph Brown Draughon Library at 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5. Funding through a gift by EBSCO helped create this space that was designed to respond to the needs of today's students. Throughout the past three years, The Libraries has worked closely with Auburn's students to gather input in order to have a space designed by the students and for the students. The Learning Commons features 300 additional power outlets, 10 group study rooms and almost 500 new seats. The Libraries partnered with the Miller Writing Center, the Office of Information Technology and Study Partners to provide academic and technologic assistance in one convenient space with library reference services for users.
