The task force members are Dave Baldwin, Cindy Pierard and Norice Lee. During Fall Semester, students were asked to provide their comments on library space on flip charts in both libraries. Many very useful comments were compiled from those charts. Stu-dents were also asked to complete a brief survey which provided helpful information. Another activity involved having student employees photograph areas of the libraries at set times during the day and night in order to document how present spaces and facilities are actually used. All three of these activities yielded valuable information about Library spaces and facilities. The task force learned that above all, students want quiet study spaces. This is consistent with other libraries’ studies, but it is good to have it confirmed on this campus. Users look to the Library to provide a place where they can study in comfortable spaces without interruptions. The students also want more comfortable furniture, more electrical outlets for their laptops, group study spaces and more computers. Comments were also made on the need in Branson Library for more color and inviting spaces. The task force is working with the Office of Facilities Planning and Construction interior designers on developing its recommendations, and at the same time there are projects under-way to replace all of the signs in both libraries. The goal is to make improvements in both libraries that will help NMSU students and others make the best possible uses of the libraries’ spaces and facilities. For more information, contact Dave Baldwin, Associate Dean of the Library, at (575) 646-1508 or dbaldwin@nmsu.edu.— Dave Baldwin, Library Administration “The Library Show” Gets on the Road It was standing room only as fifty people watched Barack Obama’s inaugura-tion on The Library Show monitor in Zuhl Library. The monitor in Branson Library attracted a crowd as well. The Library has installed large screen moni-tors in Branson and Zuhl libraries to provide important information about Library services, collections and programs in slide, video and news marquee formats. The system also regu-larly shows cable television, and can commu-nicate emergency information. In September, the Library appointed a work-ing group to explore and make recommenda-tions on an electronic information system for the Library. All library departments were rep-resented in the group.
