[Web4lib] "Media" Lab

[Araby Y Greene]

We have a Dynamic Media Lab (http://www.it.unr.edu/media/lab.asp) and a Software and Visualization Lab (http://www2.library.unr.edu/dataworks/lab.html) at the University of Nevada, Reno Library. Both have been well-received by students and faculty.

These labs will also be prominent features of our new Knowledge Center, which is under construction (http://www.knowledgecenter.unr.edu/)

>    There is some [vague at best] discussion going on here about adding
> a "media" lab into our InfoCommons mix.  This is a very unformed
> notion as yet unsupported by any real needs assessment or user
> survey.  What I'm hearing ranges from CD/DVD burning to video
> production, with stops along the way for podcasting, flash, html,
> scanning, conferencing, and who knows what else.  Up until now, the
> InfoCommons has been framed as a fairly standard library computer lab
> -- databases, office apps, miscellaneous course-specific plugins.
> 
>    I'd like to find out what sort of software, infrastructure,
> personnel and capabilities more advanced installations provide to
> users (both students and faculty) and suggestions as to "model" sites
> or good resources to begin with in examining how we can expand our
> services.
