My buddy Tayce here is a Librarian at the good ole Gerald R. Sherratt Library. Not only is he good looking today but he also can help with research questions. Any librarian would be happy to help you search for articles or books within the walls of this great library or online.
Not only does the library have books for leisure, books on tape, and certain lab kits but they sometimes have textbooks for your classes. Stop by the check out desk and see if they have your textbook (just in case you are like me and forget to order books before the semester started). Also, they have actual scholarly journals that can be checked out (this is not common among university libraries).
We have a pretty awesome library and staff but wait! There's more! There are somethings that can be checked out from the library, to be honest, that I never knew you could check out.
White boards, video cameras, headphones, calculators, educational props, tablets, a Frisbee, and also a CD drive (not shown) that plugs into the computer. All of these different items can be checked out and if you have any questions my man Tayce or any Librarian would love to answer your questions.
The library will have another cameo in this blog but there are two more things I want to let you know. The first things is Study Rooms. Study rooms are available for students for 2 hours at a time (they can be rechecked out if necessary). These rooms either have a large screen TV (some have the Apple TV option) or a projector that is connected to a computer. These rooms vary in size and can accommodate study groups, or just your lonesome if you don't want to be disturbed.
Finally, there is one last things I want to share with you that is available to be checked out. If you are walking home alone or to your car, the library has an Anti Mugging device that emits a loud sound if the pin is pulled. This device can be checked out one week at a time. (props to my roommate for holding the camera.
I didn't know about those anti-mugging devices. That's actually really impressive!!
ReplyDeleteThe video doesn't do the sound it emits justice. I was surprised how loud it was and that the library even had it.
