Did You Know?

The Edison State College Teaching and Learning Center was created in 2006 to provide programs, services, and resources to fulltime and adjunct teaching faculty at Edison State College. Each campus has designated a physical space for the Teaching and Learning Center, where faculty can meet, share ideas, and consult Edison State College Library teaching and learning resources. However, the TLC is more than just a physical location: it is an intellectual space. The TLC is the sharing of ideas, methods, and content among Edison faculty through casual conversation, an organized discussion group, or a planned event. All faculty members are encouraged to continually improve teaching and learning at Edison State College by sharing their expertise and taking advantage of TLC resources, events, and services. On the Charlotte Campus, the TLC is located in Building FO117.

Focus On…

The video of the month was created by Guy Adam Ailion. He discusses what libraries might look like in the future with the surge of new information every day. Needless to say, we live in an information-driven society. To remain relevant, it is imperative that libraries of all kinds continue to stay on the cutting edge of not only information, but technology.

“A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life.” ~Norman Cousins
