For years, part of the orientation schedule for new students and faculty members has been a walking tour of the Library. Scheduling the tour for everyone at BTSR and Union-PSCE during an already packed week has always been a challenge, but since the library is one of the most important resources available to the community, it's well worth the time to offer the tour. But we know that in all the rush of that week, sometimes you just want to sit for awhile and not go to one more scheduled event! So this year, we're offering a new way to be introduced to the Library that YOU schedule at a time convenient for you.
We have been working on a podcast that you can sync to an mp3 player and that leads you on your own personal tour of the Library. You don't get to hear from the library staff as you do in a scheduled orientation tour (although we will wave at you if we see you walk through our areas with earphones on), but you will see what is offered on each floor and hear about services you will use as a student or faculty member.
If you don't have your own mp3 player, don't worry. The library plans to have a few that patrons can use. We hope this will be one more way to introduce you to a wonderful library.
The podcast isn't quite ready for prime time yet, but watch the news area of the library web page (and this blog) for more information about when you can begin using it.
