The planned renovations will encourage active use of the Learning Commons, supporting Waseda Vision 150<\/a>\u2019s commitment to move to an \u201cinteractive problem finding and solving style of education<\/a>,\u201d while at the same time preserving the Central Library\u2019s traditional peace and quiet. This will be a new library!<\/p>\n At Waseda University Central Library, we have collected and made available scientific knowledge that has contributed to traditional learning and research. The renovations described here enable us to expand both our facilities and our professional support. We hope to help students and researchers exchange ideas with one another and learn in a variety of different ways.<\/p>\n As we evolve from a silent repository to an active arena in line with the changing needs of the times, we hope that you will continue to make use of all the resources offered by the Central Library.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
