Some key questions

• What really works as library spaces for graduate students, and will this be what is needed 10 years from now?

• What elements/ services can turn pleasant spaces into intellectually stimulating, energizing and supportive communities?

• Do graduate students need different online communities beyond or within those created for scholars already active in a discipline?
