Terrapin Learning Commons

Mission:

The mission of the Terrapin Learning Commons is to provide students with an inviting and supportive environment that facilitates scholarly work and helps create community across all library locations. We seek to work alongside, and become partners with, students to increase the quality of their academic studies and enrich their university experience. The commons at the University of Maryland are a catalyst for new learning opportunities in the form of innovative spaces and services, technology-based curricula and campus-wide partnerships.
