We have a lot of group spaces in the library, both large and small. It really helps us stay relevant to the campus, draw people to the library, and interact with classes. They are almost always booked. We have two video theaters, 30 seat, 90 seat The lecture center with moveable tables and chairs, seats about 30 The Class of 47 room, screen, podium, chairs, seats about 50 Three electronic classrooms with computers at each seat and projector screens, small 15 seats, two medium 24 seats Our Dodd Center Archive building has a large auditorium with projector screen, seats at least 100 Plus our first floor is the learning commons where there are a lot of small group spaces with wide screen monitors to which small groups of students can plug their laptops in to, several istudios, and four small group video viewing stations (up to four per screen)

When planning our new library we wanted a theatre, but lost it amid all the other clamoring for space. We would have loved one for author events, film events, and a 1000 other programming events. The campus would have ended up having a great new venue also, but alas.....

Happy Friday everyone. We're beginning to think about strategic planning at our institution and space is big on the agenda. I've had a couple faculty express a longing for the library to have an actual theatre which is an intriguing idea to me so I wanted to take a very informal poll - How many of you have a theatre in your library and what is that space used for? I look forward to your responses! Best, -lisa H. Music & Media Librarian Howard-Tilton Memorial Library Tulane University 504.314.7822
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
