If you were not able to attend a focus group but would like to share YOUR ideas on the future design of Rod Library send us your thoughts on the Feedback Form.
Sam Demas presented on "Library Building Design: Trends and Issues" on Tuesday, Octrober 1 in Maucker Union. This presentation was made as a part of the Library's Building Feasibility Study. See how Libraries are changing to meet the needs of their users in unique and comfortable ways!
If you cannot hear the presentation hover your mouse over the speaker, then move the slider that appears next to the speaker symbol to increase the sound level. This is a YouTube issue apparently.
The Library's Feasibility Study continues today, Wednesday Oct. 2, with three more focus groups. The focus groups are a great way for your voice to be heard. UNI faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend a focus group to help us design the library of the future!
All sessions are held behind the Reference Desk. Follow the signs in the lobby!
