Berwick Library and Learning Commons opens |
|||
| The Berwick Library and Learning Commons was officially opened by Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor Stephen Parker on Monday 8 May at an event attended by 60 Monash staff and visitors including six guests from local schools. The first of its kind on a Monash campus, the Berwick Library and Learning Commons seamlessly combines library services and information technology services and resources with a contemporary, user-friendly learning and teaching environment. The facility offers an exciting range of new and improved services and resources for users. Among the revolutionary innovations is a Self Loans checkout, giving users the ability to process their own loans. Sixty-eight new computers are available to students using the library and learning commons, including 54 for general use, 10 situated in the training room and five 'express' computers for quick searches and locating items in the catalogue. There are also two new high volume black and white printers, and a colour printer and scanner. Specialist staff are available to assist users with information searches and technology queries. Information on loans, resources, services and accounts is provided by a combined library and information technology services learning commons team. During busy periods "roaming" helpers move around the library and learning commons assisting users at computer terminals and in study areas. An adaptive technology room has been well equipped for users with disabilities, and a group discussion room is also available. New modern furniture, a bright, open plan layout, improved signage, and wireless access are included in the new facility. Library print card credits can be purchased in the library and learning commons. ITS print credits can be purchased online via the 'My Info' tab on my.monash, or from the Student Services Desk located in the main foyer of Building 901, room G39. Combined library and learning commons facilities are also planned for Monash’s campuses in Malaysia and South Africa .10 May 2006 current news : 2007 : 2006 : 2005 : 2004 : 2003 : 2002 : pre-2002 Need help?
