This fall will see the launch of a brand new initiative from CBS Library, the CBS Library Forum, an event operation integrated in the Solbjerg Plads library and dedicated to the promotion and facilitation of informal and dialogical interaction between CBS research communities and students.
The CBS Library Forum is not intended as a replacement or even a reinvention of traditional lecture hall interactions. Rather we plan it as a place where CBS faculty and students can share and discuss thoughts and ideas not necessarily part of any particular syllabus or dictated by specific predefined learning outcomes in an open, curious, and egalitarian way.
To this end we have spent a lot of time and exerted a great deal of effort to create a both relevant and hopefully inspiring physical setting for the type of event we are hoping to attract and host in future. This new purpose built space will officially open in September and we plan to host a couple of events every month.
The new service is in many ways a break with the traditional, or perhaps more accurately traditionally perceived, role of the library as a place dedicated to quiet and calm as it for the first time introduces into the library the element of deliberate and meaningful noise. This is of course something we have taken very seriously in the design process as we are not trying to push people away.
The success of the project depends entirely on our ability to attract interesting and interested presenters from among CBS faculty. CBS Library will of course be proactive and reach out to potential candidates but as we do not have detailed insights into all the interesting research currently undertaken at CBS we also encourage, emphatically, researchers to get in touch with us.
