| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The most frequent student requests that cannot be accommodated in the information commons are for scanning, faxing and color printing. This initiative is to form a plan of action to establish a Media Center within the Library, where students can have access to hardware and software to support audio and video creation and editing. The media center will function as a production area for students not in the media or communications curriculum. For the 2011-12 AY, we anticipate benchmarking existing similar successful centers on other campuses and drawing up a detailed plan of services, function and equipment. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Currently on campus there is no site where a student who is not in a media/communications curriculum can access media creation equipment. As the Library is a central, non-program specific location with good tech. support personnel, housing media equipment here does make sense. We are not seeking funding for this cycle, but expect to in the future. If not funded, no immediate negative consequences will be felt, but students will not be utilizing state-of-the art technology for course support. |

| Goal | How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
|---|---|
|
The Media Center initiative will expand technology support within the information commons area of the Library to students in all majors on campus. Students learn in a variety of ways, and we have not been doing much to support visual learners or students with disabilities. By providing media creation equipment, students can design their course work to include a variety support materials. |
