The Information Commons is a bold new vision for libraries that reimagines them as places where people can come together to learn, create, and collaborate. In this book, David Lankes argues that the traditional library model is no longer sufficient in a world where information is constantly changing and growing. He proposes that libraries should become Information Commons, where people can access information from a variety of sources, learn new skills, and connect with others to solve problems. Lankes begins by discussing the challenges facing libraries today. He argues that the traditional library model is based on a print-centric view of information that is no longer relevant in a digital world. He also notes that libraries are facing increasing competition from other sources of information, such as Google and Amazon. In response to these challenges, Lankes proposes a new vision for libraries as Information Commons. He argues that libraries should be places where people can come together to learn, create, and collaborate. He also believes that libraries should be more proactive in helping people find the information they need.
