Description
The Olin Library/Knowledge Lab is located in a facility of roughly 10,000
square feet on the first and lower floors of the Academic Center. It is
conveniently located off of the main lobby, close to Admission, Information
Technology and faculty offices. It offers a variety of attractive spaces
for study and research-including 5 small group study rooms for group projects.
The first floor provides two workstations, a copier/printer/scanner, space for
consulting with staff, open study space and five group study rooms. It also houses
current Reserves, and the Art, Design, Photography, Crafts, and Pedagogy print collections.
The lower level includes two additional workstations, a microfilm/fiche reader/scanner,
individual study carrels, an attractive area for browsing our interdisciplinary
collection of journals and magazines, and ample space for the rest of our
collection of printed books.
Workstations on both levels provide access to our virtual collections
and to the tools available on the Olin network. Wireless access is available
on both levels for members of the Olin community.
