This program is about leveraging the technology of the learning centers in Thomas Jefferson School of Law Library to foster a collaborative approach to learning legal research. 

We have two teaching areas in the library called the learning centers. The learning centers are based on the Knowledge Bar^TM that was designed by IDEO for Florida Coastal School of Law. It consists of a bar-like table with a glass top, a flat screen monitor, a DVD player, two whiteboards and a ceiling mounted document review camera.
