Student Library Fee (new)
– Extended TML hours started on September 2, 2014
– What do students want to see improved in our physical library facility?
– Some suggested uses for the Student Library Fee at TML include:
—-> Replacing the chairs and soft seating on the 1st floor
—-> Replacing our current tables with ones that can move around easily
—-> Adding electrical outlets with USB plugs to every carrel in the stacks
—-> Adding more liaison librarians
Open discussion
Study space
– Some students prefer to quietly study with others (vs. in isolation)
– A white noise machine in the stacks might be helpful
Research poster support
– Suggestion for TML to hold research poster workshops once a semester
– Printing posters
—-> TML has a large format printer —-> PhD Posters was also recommended
Scholars Compass is a publishing platform for the intellectual output of VCU’s academic, research, and administrative communities. It includes research posters, theses and dissertations, published and unpublished faculty research, and more.
Request for statistics consulting services at the library
– Suggestion to inquire with SoP or other schools on whether their Statistics TAs would be interested in offering their services at TML
– Graduate students can receive 5 hours of free consulting at the Statistics and Analytics Consulting Lab
