I'm interested in making some fairly extensive revisions to this page. I know the page has recently been active with multiple editors, so I wanted to make sure it was OK to move ahead. If you're planning to make some revisions yourself, or if this page is for a graded school assignment, please let me know so that I can avoid stepping on toes.--Libraryowl (talk) 23:11, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't heard from anyone, so I rewrote the first section of the article. I feel like this article still needs some revisions and reorganization overall. I am a supporter of learning commons (well, I'm certainly interested in them), but I'm concerned that the language in this article is too promotional & bit scattered. For example, there are some pretty important challenges to learning commons, including the cost; the removal of print collections; and the removal or reduction of professional librarian positions when a library makes a transition into a learning commons. I am still learning too, but if you want, we can work together to make this article more neutral and encyclopedic. --Libraryowl (talk) 15:13, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
