Initiative Title | Interactive Library Classroom |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The Library Instruction classroom is currently configured with a teaching station and ceiling mounted projector for demonstration purposes only. This initiative seeks to add 26 thin client computer workstations for hands-on interactive student information literacy training within the classroom. Including hands-on experiences will allow students to practice the skills that have been demonstrated in the classroom, ask questions about their particular research needs, and receive on the spot help to refine search strategies. The Library has been attempting to include more hands-on experiences by moving students from the classroom to the Information Commons and using the 14 library laptops. While these strategies have been helpful, with the increased use of the IC, it has been difficult to reserve 25 computers for training. Our 14 laptops are inadequate in number to serve an entire class and have been increasingly needed for student overflow when the IC is full. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | If not funded, we will continue our current strategy. |
