So, just what is Information Commons anyway?


UNC Charlotte’s IC offers several types of social spaces that foster individual and collaborative work. Located on the first floor of Atkins Library and equipped with integrated information and technology services, our department provides environments in which students can most directly address their learning needs. Whether speaking about our Research Services and Technology Support desks or the Information Desk and the Digital Media Studio, about Group Study and (new!) Presentation Practice rooms or individual PC and Mac workstations, about increasing students’ information literacy in the form of the First-Year Writing Seminar or the Writing Resources Center (located in IC spaces)—our IC is meant to provide students a seamless experience in which they can access the tools to skillfully manage and produce relevant knowledge.
