Waubonsee Community College Library (Sugar Grove campus) - part 2

I was so happy to see a full reference section, and not one padded with unnecessary titles either. I always liked having Company Histories near me in the reference section, and it's a resource that is not duplicated by Internet access.

I like this table and the variety of tools on it, but what I like even better is that Waubonsee's students are trustworthy enough that none of these items need to be chained down to keep them from disappearing.

Blu-Ray disc players are impressively hi-tech, but I'm more interested in those old school headphones!

Note the handy instruction sheet right next to it.

I've never seen this machine before and I had to look up what it is online before posting this. What we have here is a scanning and reading, or text to speech, machine. Super hi-tech!

And, on the low tech side...I've seen lots of puzzles in public libraries by now. It's nice to see one in an academic setting too, to help students relax...

Speaking of relaxation techniques, I was quite amused by this box of free stress balls. I wish I had also taken a better picture of the small sign to the right of it, but it addresses that common academic reference question "Do you have my textbooks?"

This is the periodicals "room." There are no real walls here, but the shelves have been arranged to block off this rectangular area so you can sit and read inside it.

It's not a large library, (only one level), and there were areas I could not snap pix of because there were too many students there. So I'm heading out, and this is the view down the stairs I showed yesterday. Bye, Waubonsee!

(And happy 300th blog post to me!)
