Sound dampening or bafflers would be good in all parts of the library if it going to be used as a study hall area and not as a library. That huge space could be used so much better. The huge coral study area just looks like someone pushed all the leftover stuff in one area and it is too congested and uninviting. It is not easy to access and not set up for studying. The lower lever of the library space is used poorly. Now that I am over 21 we take our study groups to Squires which during the week is fairly quiet and open till or past midnight most nights. I have in the past had problems finding places to study here at UAS which is why I find the 24 hour study room so appealing- the library closes at 10pm and in the past my study groups and I have had no where to go- we had to get creative and went to places like McDonalds which was open till midnight, and the waffle co which is open no later then midnight usually 11pm.

It's near the circulation desk, and the circ staff can see the study area through big windows during regular hours and I assume there is some sort of surveillance that happens during the evening hours. Its not staffed, so it wouldn't require any library staff to stay at the library for 24 hours. This space used to be a '23' hour room, and janitors would go in around 1am kick everyone out and clean, but they have changed that now, the janitors still go in around 1am but you don't have to leave. There's also two vending machines in there. I think somebody goes around and checks all the lockers and makes sure food and nasty stuff hasn't been left in there like once a week or something like that. There's also a bank of lockers in there, the kind you put a quarter in for the key and you can leave your stuff in there as long as you want. There is a coffee shop inside and it is open from I believe 6am to 4pm or something like that. I'm not sure how many computers there are, but it's 20 at least. There's a computer lab in there with a printer, which I think you have to pay for printing. Their study room operates like this: The doors are unlocked during library hours, and after hours you have to slide your card to get in, so that not the whole planet has access to the room. I would love to see something similar to UAF Rasmusons "24 Hour Study Room" I am aware that we are a smaller campus and maybe having an area like this would only make sense during finals or midterms.

In your ideal Egan Library building (including the Learning Center and Writing Center) how important is it that the following be included? Please rate each item on a scale of 1 – 5. In the Egan Library would you like to see more: ValidĬomfortable areas to read and work on a laptopĬomfortable areas to work/collaborate/socialize with peers To bring in newer technology would be a great advantage and keep the library up to date. Google Cloud Print works on your phone, tablet, Chromebook, PC, and any other web-connected device you want to print from". Using Google Cloud Print, you can make your home and work printers available to you and anyone you choose, from the applications you use every day. This is from is how it works: "Google Cloud Print is a new technology that connects your printers to the web. Many, many people use Google Docs for their work and would save time make it easier for those to print. This would allow student to print from their phone or tablet and not need to take up space on a library computer just to print. Also it would be great to have a Google Cloud Printer setup available. This might just take a few mins at times. Times I, and others, just need to print a report or other material for class.
