What role/importance does the library have?

• Libraries provide a certain atmosphere that is especially conducive for learning and focusing, probably more so than my other preferred place of study (a cafe). Maybe this is due to the both of these places usually have shitty Wifi so I’m less tempted to procrastinate on Buzzfeed (sorry Dan).
• Providing an in-depth and reliable range of sources.
• Librarians are great.

What might I use in the library? especially for open endedness of assessments

• RMIT Library search – because it will allow me to search a wide range of subjects. Might be useful for getting an idea of the types of sources that are available and let me narrow in my search from there.
• Books books books – because the tangibility of a book is enchanting. And because I find it so much easier to absorb information from a piece of paper than from a screen. In the past I’ve done most of my research online, and I’d really like to change my habits. Also because studying in the library is a bit of a lost art to me, but also dorky/cool but appealing.
• Reserve collections – because it’s nice to know that the book you want isn’t on a journey somewhere, but lying on a shelf just waiting to share its information with you.

Three media artifacts that represent the library:

Endless boooks

Silent study.

Obsoletism.
