Part III: Upper Level


                 


Part III: Upper Level
by: Yeidi Rios

A lot has happened at our library since I last wrote about the lower level. It gives me great joy to include in this post a recently assembled new space created for our students. This will be the last post of a series of posts designed to describe the different areas of the Dick Smith Library. The only floor left to discuss is the upper level.
The upper level counts with much more amenities and little private sections for maximum productivity. For starters, as soon as you go up the stairs there is a lounging area near the office, a copy station including a recently acquired color printer, 15 more desktops, a laptop vending machine, and the Maker Spot. This last room is one of our newest additions. The Maker Spot promotes invention, creation and exploration through the use of modern technologies with the assistance of professional staff. Among the many things this room includes, is a 3D printer, 3D scanner, Go Pros, and computer development kits for the students to work on. The rest of the upper level includes more study areas with comfy chairs, study tables, study rooms and group study rooms. Regarding this last one, I can happily inform my readers that we now count with 5 new collaboration tables equipped with computers and big screen monitors. 
The Dick Smith Library has many more resources available to everyone that forms part of the Tarleton Community. To learn more about the library’s resources remember you can always visit any of our reference desks located in all three floors. Our staff is made up of well-prepared library professionals that can assist you with all your informational needs. I hope that by now you find yourself more familiar with the library’s resources. Hope to see you soon!
