Adventure At The Library

When thinking about having a sense of place in a building, like the library, where could you see yourself feeling comfortable?  

I could feel myself feeling comfortable on the second floor in the secluded corner. I feel like this could be a place where I can discover my learning skills and what works for me and what does not work. I can also meet new people who are studying and doing homework.

Think about the campus, and the location of the library.  How does the location of the library contribute to the sense of place of SSU campus?

The location contributes a lot because it is in the middle of Meier Hall, Sullivan building, dining hall and dorms. These buildings bring people together because the library is right in the middle of it. The landscape of the outside how it has all the benches and grass. This help students to meet people by sitting outside and meeting new people and find new places to hang out at. 

What did you learn from Jason about the library itself, and its places?

I learned a lot about the unlimited amount of access and resources that is available to us in the library. There is the writing center and then there is also the online access to articles and journals.

What did you learn from Jason about researching?

I learn that the most important thing about research is to check for CRRAP which basically means like to make sure the source is reliable, current, has author, relevant and when it was published. These are important to remember when doing research.

What did you learn about Mapworks?

I learned that mapworks helps the school to figure the best way they work to make sure students are being successful and get the best out of their experience at Salem State.

Post a picture of the library, preferably one or a few you took.

I did not take a picture because I did not want to be rude and look like I  was not paying attention.

Post a link that relates to your trip to the library.  Critically think about this, and go beyond the library link, but rather something related to what you learned about, or places like buildings, etc. Explain the link you shared.

The link represents the resources of being able to check online before going to the library to see if the library has a book you want and if checked out to be able to put on hold. This link also helps with being able to look for online books and then request for it to be printed out.
