Study Spaces: 4th Floor Media:scape Pods

There are six Media:scape pods on the fourth floor of the main library. Students are able to share individual content from their personal laptops with other group members using a large 42" flat screen monitor. Viewing is controlled by each member of the group using Media:scape's media well and Show-Me cables. Each pod has a "connect and share" environment; laptops are connected to the Media:scape through the HDMI port on your personal laptop. Special adapters for Apple computers are available for check out at the first floor Library Services Desk.

To schedule a Media:scape Pod on the Fab Fourth:

Use LibCal to schedule a pod. Arrive at your scheduled time and go directly to your pod. If there are any questions, please ask at the Library Services Desk on the first floor of the library.
