The Library

In-class exercise:

PART 1

How I might use the library for this assessment:

  • Use the new RMIT Library Database search engine to access a broader range of information I otherwise previously didn’t know I was able to access.
    • Use quotation marks to search specific words and phrases.
  • Use the hard copy archives of ‘old media’ (Ie. pre-digital).
  • Use the Library as a space to concentrate and focus on my assessment.

Part 2 – Using various media, find three things that represent the library to you and document it.

Whenever I am in the library (or any form of educational space alone) I often find myself listening to music, and even discovering new music? As I type in a genre and often fall down a “rabbit hole” of discovery of new music. The only downfall here is I’m often focussed and at the end of my study / working session I completely forget the music I just “discovered”.

BOOKS: Potentially the most cliche and universal symbol of Libraries. It will be interesting to see if this is till the symbol in say 30 years, as more digital moves in and hard copy print is on the way out..

When I think of the library I think of the hundreds of black keyboards lined up on the tables in nearly every room. I guess you could even suggest that the keyboards between desktop and laptop could be some form of old and new media… OR, just a progression of technology.
