Thanks to the generous annual support of
UK Libraries donors and friends, UK students studying in the William T. Young
Library will have access to a powerful new collaborative learning tool.
Last week we received delivery of a
media:scape, which allows students working in groups to share images from their
laptops to a larger screen. Once plugged
in, students can easily switch the main image from laptop to laptop as they
work on presentations, research or other work.
UK Libraries had a media:scape on loan from the Steelcase Corporation
this past February, and it was extremely popular with students.
The media:scape was purchased with
resources from the UK Libraries Enrichment Fund and at a significant discount
from Steelcase. The acquisition of this
piece of equipment represents our continuing commitment to transforming our
libraries into technology-friendly spaces best equipped to meet the needs of a
21st century education.
Acquiring the media:scape is the first of several service enhancements
planned for the next two years.
