About the IC

What is the Information Commons?

BACKGROUND

The Information Commons (IC) is a partnership between the Loyola University Libraries and Information Technology Services (ITS) to facilitate research with the use of high-quality technology. The IC strives to fulfill the Loyola Promise by providing a learning environment for faculty, staff and students that supports both collaborative and individual research in a technology-friendly setting.

Together, the University Libraries, ITS, and their partners aim to offer support for effective, quality teaching and learning. Support is available through a variety of means, including: research and technology assistance, one-on-one consultations with subject experts, research paper clinics, technology workshops and occasional special-interest workshops. To implement this support, the IC features a wide variety of equipment and applications, such as:

  • 220 networked computer workstations (80% PC, 20% Mac), many in groupings
  • Assisted Technology Center
  • Circulating laptops (in-building)
  • Digital Media Lab
  • Electronic info-kiosks featuring university news
  • Resnet services (offering assistance with personal laptops)
  • Scanners, printers, photocopiers
  • TeamSpot group collaboration software
  • Wireless network access
