What Do You Think?

Over 70 students and faculty were surveyed about the good and the bad aspects of the media center facility.
The following are their responses:

THE GOOD:

The faculty: the abundance of supplies and machines, especially the poster maker and laminator; the full class set of computers all in one area; the large student areas for full classes; the availability of the media specialists; the housing of the Technology Department in the media center; the murals; the small tables (too many students at one table = trouble)

The students: the large and varied collection of books; the lack of overdue fines; the availability of computers at any time during the day; the availability of the media specialists; not having to pay for black and white copies or printouts; the murals; the access to the media center during lunches without a pass; comfy easy chairs near the windows for relaxing reading

THE BAD:

The faculty: some limited sight issues from parts of the media center; lack of lighting the further you get from the windows in the back; poor quality carpet; entrance/exit area awkward; security detector too small; Die Cut room in awkward location (random placement causing limited sight lines)

The students: computer tables are too short, the pull-out keyboard trays are too low for larger students and/or taller students; lack of lighting near the front of facility; lack of student bathrooms; necessity of ID to check out books; turnstiles to get in and out
