The David B. Weigle Information Commons, on the first floor (west) of the Van Pelt Dietrich Library Center, supports collaborative learning and group activities using the latest technologies. Our program partners - CWiC, Weingarten Learning Resources Center and Writing Center - and Penn Libraries staff assist students with research, writing, public speaking, study strategies and technology use, including multimedia authoring. The Commons includes Group Study Rooms, Data Diner Booths, Alcove Meeting Areas, Seminar Room and the Vitale Digital Media Lab.
