  • Finding the Sonic Sweet Spot: Implementing a Noise Management Program in a Library Learning Commons Pierard, Cindy Baca, Olivia Academic Libraries Acoustics Library Facilities Library Policy Feedback (Response) Accountability Self Management Library Personnel Role Program Effectiveness Noise in academic libraries has been a consistent concern of library staff and library users. This concern has intensified as libraries have emphasized their role in supporting student learning, including learning that occurs in a busy, collaborative environment.
