| Initiative Title | Media Support for Student Projects |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2013 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The College currently does not possess a working printer large enough to accommodate projects that require a format larger than 24 inches, such as research posters, banners, oversized advertising materials, and e-portfolios; instead, such projects must be sent to external vendors. Printing a single research poster costs at least $75 plus shipping and requires 2 to 4 weeks to process. Banners, etc. cost even more. As a result, students take the more convenient, inexpensive, and ultimately less professional option: to paste or tape pieces of smaller paper onto poster boards and/or tri-folds. Departments and faculty must use costly outside vendors.
This initiative seeks to purchase a wide-format printer with appropriate hardware, software, equipment, and supplies for Academic Affairs |
|---|
| 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. The equipment would support multiple needs: faculty including scholarly presentations within their courses, SOARS, e-portfolios, Honors course presentations, etc. If not funded, no immediate negative consequences will be felt, individual students will still need to pay a high price out of pocket for professional printing and be at a disadvantage when presenting at SOARS or Beacon. |

| 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. |
