The JKM Library Blog

We are excited to announce that all group study rooms are now equipped with whiteboards for collaborative work. Prior to this semester, only the third floor group rooms had mounted whiteboards. The second floor rooms had either aging chalkboards or nothing at all, making collaborative group work challenging. This has been a project long in the making, and the library thanks ITS for ordering and installing the remaining whiteboards. In addition to the mounted whiteboards, the library has several portable whiteboards on wheels that can be easily moved around and are heavily used by big groups working at the larger study tables. The library has plans to add more of these portable whiteboards in the near future.

April 2015

As of April 13 [2015], the 24×7 lab will be extended to include rooms 103, LCC1, and the large lab (101) during the hours the library is closed. This provides you with a variety of open tables and computer access as well as group study and individual spaces.
We’re sure many of you are thinking “Great! But where’s the bathroom?” For your comfort and convenience, the Eddy Theatre lobby will be open. The Eddy doors nearest the Library will remain unlocked as well as the wheelchair accessible entrance on the other side of the building.
Please note that during the summer, there will not be an expansion – only the original 24×7 room will be available. The doors to Eddy will remain open, however.
[Note: Updated 5/11/2015 to state that the expansion will not happen during summer]
