| Initiative Title | Media Makerspace |

| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2014 |

| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Students who present research in classrooms and at conferences (Beacon, SOARS, etc.) are often asked to prepare a poster presentation. The current way in which students do this is either by cutting and pasting or outsourcing the printing at a cost of $100 or more. This initiative seeks to carve out space within the library to house a "media makerspace" containing a wide format printer and creation software. The initiative would:
- Encourage students to present their scholarly research orally in conferences and other academic venues.
- Reduce the amount of time it takes students to create poster presentations.
- Students will learn new technologies that will help them communicate their ideas.
- The electronic poster can be the start of their ePortfolio that they can use for future scholarship.
- Students will learn visual communication techniques that are becoming common place in scholarship and the professional world.

| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Students will continue to produce non-professional posters or pay out of pocket fees for professional printing.. |

| Department Goals | The library resources shall support the curricula of the College, provide the basis for a well-rounded liberal education, and meet the research needs of the college community. |
