- Libraries without Borders: Shaping Learning through Interactive Media Centers Vardeman, Leesa Davis, Chad Manning, Niki School Libraries Motivation Library Services Library Equipment Library Facilities Cognitive Style Furniture Environment Library Role Librarians Access to Information Information Needs Information Seeking Information Retrieval Interpersonal Relationship Influence of Technology Society's view of the library has changed with each passing generation. What was once a quiet building full of books intended for the studious researcher is now becoming a place that combines print and technology, to encourage both the interactive and visual learners. Today's kids have access to both hardbound books as well as online resources, accessible from e-readers, phones, tablets and computers. Rather than have students learn as a solitary unit, more and more schools, and by default, their libraries, are encouraging the use of collaborative learning for their students. This shift to a more student-centric learning approach, fully embraced in the ideals of 21st century learning, has shaped the way kids are learning and using a library now, and will continue to do so into the future. Whether one looks at a library of the 1950s, 2000s or thinks about the future, the bottom line is the same: a library allows people to obtain information while creating a space for social interaction.
