The
New look for the HCT Library

Do you feel at home when you are at the
library? In the past that was
impossible but now it is a dream come true. I interviewed the supervisor
of the library Kenneth Scott and I asked him about three important things
for you guys to know. What
did the library look like before? What
are the things that you have changed in the library and why? What are your
future plans for the library and how is your future plan going to be for
the benefit of AAMC students?
Actually, the library did not look that bad in the past, but there
were some changes needed to be done.
In the past the library was smaller and there was not a good
comfortable place for the students to study and read at.
Mr. Kenneth Scott told me in the past the library did not have
rooms for the students to study in groups.
Another important thing that Mr. Scott told me about was the noise
and the echo that gave students made it hard for students to concentrate.
Also in the past, the library faculty were not as visible as they
are today.
Therefore, Mr. Scott devised a plan to improve the library for the
students. There are a lot of
things that have changed in the library if I count them it will probably
take me three or four pages, so I will tell you about the most important
things that have changed in the library. Now the library is a quiet place
and that happened by exchanging the old carpet with a new one that is made
in the United States. This
carpet sucks in all the noise and makes the place quiet. Another thing
that Mr. Scott told me about is putting acoustic paneling on the dome
because in the past students could hear the echo of their voices when they
talked to each other. There
are more rooms for the students to study in groups.
Mr. Scott told me that these rooms were built because he knows that
UAE students like to work together. Currently
in the library it is way easier to get help from the library staff. And finally, don’t forget the instructors. There is a room
specially made for them called Faculty Resource Room.
Do
not ever stop thinking of how to make things better. Guys you all going to
love this. Mr. Scott told me
about some very impressive future plans for the library. I would love to
get my hands on a computer laptop, what about you? In the next two to
three mouths the library is going to have a computer laptop for the
students to use and you are all going to be walking around the library
with a laptop. The laptops are going to be a wireless so you can move freely
in the library and sit in a comfortable place that you been dreaming of
sitting at with a computer on your lap. There are more plans for the
library that Mr. Scott and the library faculty have in mind but you will
have to wait for Mr. Scott’s future surprises.
Don’t you think this
sounds wonderful? And all the new things that the library has are for us,
the students. Hey guys, do me a favor and please visit the library and see
for your self the changes that have happened there.
