How do social characteristics and learning styles affect outcomes? What is the impact of the physicial environment (lighting, seating, etc.) as well as the psychological environment (library policies, librarian attitudes, etc.)? After the formal presentation there will be time for questions and discussion about strategies for improving libraries as learning centers.
