Ellis Library

With the help of Vince and his connections with the school we were given a tour of the huge library on campus, Ellis Library. At first we just went into a conference room and our two tour guides gave us a presentation on what the library had to offer. It was really cool to know that we could shoot a text asking a question to the people working at the question desk instead of having to come into the library all the time. Then they gave us a yellow sheet of paper that told us what each floor of the library had to offer such as different study rooms we could sign out when we need to study for tests as a class.
It was also really interesting on the tour when she brought us into a room that seemed like a "secret room" that had shelves and shelves of books with small cubicles on the outer edges of the room. These cubicles are only for graduate students that need to lock themselves into these rooms in order to study for a big exam or just have a lot of homework they need to get done. It did seem creepy at first because on one side there were no windows and it had doors just like they had in jail cells but it also was really interesting to see that the library had these rooms to offer in order to help students get their studying's done. I didn't realize how big the library was until we had the tour yesterday and I can say it was very helpful to me and very informative.
