Reflection

I had a great time meeting both Marilee and John. Some community college have very small or sad libraries. It's great seeing a community college really embrace the library and support it's role. They offer a lot to their students and faculty. I though it was very interesting to hear that students are not checking out eBooks. I was very surprised by that considering we are a on-demand culture. The blogging experience was fun and a good experience.

Circulation desk

This is a photo of the circulation desk where students check out materials.

This is the back of the circulation desk area. In the back on the shelves are where a lot of materials are kept for classroom instruction. 

Student Art

This isn't technology related but the library purchases student art and then decorates the library with it. I love that they support the art students and give them space to show their work.

Furniture and Lighting

Lots of tables for students to spread out and work.

Compfy chairs like these can be found tucked away in nook around the library

Lots of natural light comes in from high windows in the library.

Technology in the Library

Photo of the computer lab in the library

One of the adaptive computer stations. It has a larger screen, trackball, adjustable table, and adaptive keyboard.

One of two enlarging stations. Students put a book or magazine under the screen and it projects an enlarged image.

This is the scanner that will read materials to students after they have scanned it.

Copiers in the library.

This charging station for phones is one way the library is trying to address the demands on electrical sockets.

Picture of the viewing area

The viewing area has TVs, VCRs, and Blu-ray players for students.
