The academic library as place and space has undergone profound changes in the last decade. This session will focus on how creating informal learning opportunities in the university library space can engage students in a way that contributes to a positive student experience and create increased commitment to learning outside the formal classroom. Given the size and diversity of the student population, it can be challenging to find spaces and opportunities to connect with students in a non/classroom setting. In considering this, the presenters share insights on utilizing the main library as a hub for informal learning experiences.
