Summer session classes have just ended at NJIT. Likewise the pre-college programs are also finished for the season. I feel badly for these youngsters who just may have nothing else to do for the rest of the summer. Hopefully their stay at NJIT was beneficial and perhaps some enroll here in the future. For the next 3 weeks the library usage will be very light. I will be greatly anticipating the beginning of the Fall Semester. Provost Ian Gatley will be launching a learning initiatives program in the Fall. Hopefully students will be able to learn more effectively in groups than they can as individuals. Can these groups stay together over the academic year? Personality problems could arise that may thwart the effective of learning communities. I think they will place a bigger demand on the group study rooms in the library.
