The library is also equipped with two facilities for instruction and study purposes.
The Media Classroom is available for library instruction as well as sessions of classes in the College of Performing and Visual Arts with special equipment needs. Equipment includes a complete sound and video system, an instructor computer workstation, and a projection system capable of displaying images from these units as well as from a transparency/opaque image projector. The room also accommodates 50 students, 18 of them at student computer workstations.
The Media Classroom is also open evenings during the regular semesters and the main summer session as a computer lab for student use. Use the following links for more information about Media Classroom hours.
The McMillen Conference Room also has sound and video equipment, as well as Internet connectivity. It seats 14 and is intended for PVA and Music Library-related activities such as seminar sessions, meetings, and student group study.
Anyone desiring to use either of the rooms is welcome to contact any member of the Music Library staff for information and reservations. Please note that all reservation requests must be made at least one day in advance.
In addition, there are several quiet study areas, study carrels, and small alcoves for students to use on a first-come first-serve basis.
