You Spoke: Study Rooms & Scanners
This is the first in a series of posts to respond to findings from the LibQual 2009 survey.
The #1 comment we received from the LibQual survey was about the need for additional group study rooms in the library. We're taking a step in that direction. By the end of the Spring 2010 semester, the Word Processing Room on each floor will be converted into a group study room. This will give us 4 additional group study rooms.
The computers from the rooms will be distributed around the library, so we won't be losing any computers (requests for additional computers was another frequently received comment).
Also, in response to comments about the need for additional access to scanners, we will be taking all of the scanners in the library and putting them in one place, probably on the 2nd floor. This space will be a designated scanning area, so first priority for the computers with attached scanners will be given to those needing to use the scanners.
Look for all of these changes by the end of the Spring 2010 semester, and keep an eye on this blog for additional responses to LibQual findings.
