<title>User Study of the Learning Commons at North Carolina State University</title>
<link>http://www.library.gsu.edu/news/index.asp?view=details&amp;ID=14574&amp;typeID=82</link><description><![CDATA[
This study explored student perceptions of the North Carolina State University Libraries Learning Commons. This investigation involved two approaches. A survey, offered both online and print, was used to gather input directly from students. This survey was supplemented by a qualitative data analysis of posts to the Learning Commons discussion board, which had been used as an outlet for communication between students and library staff. The results of these analyses were used to identify the strengths of the Learning Commons, as well as areas in which services or resources might be improved. Students indicated that they valued the relaxed atmosphere of the Learning Commons, the computing facilities offered, and the physical space available for work or study. The popularity of the Learning Commons, however, was perceived to have a negative impact on the level of noise in the space and the availability of both computers and seating.]]></description><author>La Loria</author><category>Learning Spaces in Learning Commons Blog</category><guid>http://www.library.gsu.edu/news/index.asp?view=details&amp;ID=14574&amp;typeID=82</guid><pubDate>Wed, 7 May 2008 11:05:03 EST</pubDate></item>

<title>Services Integration for Chronically Homeless Adults</title>
<link>http://www.library.gsu.edu/news/index.asp?view=details&amp;ID=14571&amp;typeID=61</link><description><![CDATA[
This study (Community Mental Health Journal, May 1, 2008) presents three client-level measures of services integration, two objective measures, representing the proportion of needed services received and the number of outpatient services received by each client, and one subjective measure, a five-item scale measuring perceived coordination of care among clients' service providers. Three client-level measures of services integration were, at best, weakly associated with measures of system-level integration. Positive associations between client-level measures of integration and health status, outpatient service use and negative relationships with indicators of substance abuse suggest they may usefully represent the experiences of chronically homeless clients, even though they are not strongly related to system-level measures (Abstract).]]></description><author>M.
