Abstract

Come and hear about the University of Strathclyde’s 'Library Lounge: Virtual study sessions'. Learn how they originated, when they take place, what happens at the sessions and who is involved. Find out from attendees, through video testimonials, why these sessions are integral to their independent studying. Learn how these sessions redefine the studying space for students, enabling them to feel part of their university community from anywhere while allowing us to reach out to them, providing both a 'place' for our distance learner community and an alternative 'space' for those students who prefer to study with us in this way.
