A Trip to the Library

When I first toured Salem State, the library is one building that stuck out to me the most. I loved the huge windows and all of the different seating there was. Each floor has a different volume level so if you need to work with another person or want to be in a quiet environment there is a place for you to go. The comfortable chairs and private study rooms motivate people to stay and study which I like the most. A majority of the windows look out into the North Commons, which has a lot of nice scenery and many people walk people. This location always gives you a feel of sense of place because it is right in the middle of everything going on in this part of school. So many people come to the library to study you could always find someone to talk to. One thing that Jason taught me was how to get to the ground floor area. Every time I walked in I would see tables and computers in that room but never knew how to get down there. It seems like a quiet, comfortable place to stay as well. Another thing Jason spoke about was researching. I can never find enough scholarly websites that relate to my topic, so I was glad he mentioned so many useful resources and ways to find cite worthy articles. After Jason discussed all of his tips, two people from Mapworks came and explained what the survey would do for us. When they pulled up an example of someones results I was not expecting so much feedback. They even give you people you can call to ask for help. Even though we only went to the library, I learned a lot more about why they built it the way they did and more about everything Salem State has to offer for you success.
