Revisiting the Learning Commons: An Analysis of Concepts and Themes
New Review of Academic Librarianship, v31 n3 p307-328 2025
This study discusses the learning commons concept in depth by looking at how it has evolved over time, based on the themes discussed in the scholarly research within the last 6 years and contextualizing its trend. It investigates the status of research productivity and impact, trends in the concept, and identifies common, emerging, and dominant themes. Bibliometric and thematic content analyses were employed as research approaches. Scopus database was used to search for relevant content. Coded data was subjected to a validation process to ensure agreement, consistency in relevance, and theme interpretation. Findings reveal that research conducted on the commons concept has been productive and developing. The commons is transformative and adaptive to the times. Library as space held a consistent interest among libraries as the top theme. The concepts and themes surrounding the learning commons are continuously changing and evolving, reflecting the boundless and seamless nature of knowledge and social spaces.
