I recently found a <a href=\"http:\/\/lj.libraryjournal.com\/2012\/02\/opinion\/steven-bell\/here-come-the-rules-police-from-the-bell-tower\/\">library blog<\/a> about this issue and responses to it.

How would you rate Langsdale on the noise meter?  What can we as librarians do to and what should students and others do?  How can we all make Langsdale a place that encourages both individual and group learning?
