Section LC19

The library tour was the perfect workshop to begin college with. A couple of weeks has passed since that initial excursion into Baruch life, and it is clear that outside of classes, I will spend a great deal of time in the library. Aside from the workshop showing-off all the neat and comfortable places to relax and study, other lesser known and less obvious facilities were also made clear.

I had no idea that we would be allowed to borrow laptops and calculators (if we got there early enough) or that we could print and copy certain amount of pages that were paid for before hand by our technology fees. All these services will be very helpful; the printing has already proven to be of great assistance as our English professor has us print chapters in excess of 30 pages.

Overall the library has a very welcoming atmosphere. It appears very high tech and cozy with more than enough computers, study pods, and sofas to accomodate any study session. The news that the library is open all the time during finals week only reinforces this helpful support system. I expect to take full advantage of the library during my college career.

I didn’t attend the second orientation on August 28th so I wasn’t able to go on the library tour due to a personal issue I would rather not share. I have only been in the library once or twice since the start of school. I expect the library to be like most other public libraries except it will contain more college related books. From what little I’ve seen of the library, it looks pretty decent. I like the layout of the library. There are a lot of computers to use and a lot of study space. I also like how the spiral staircase looks. I think its pretty cool lol. I should probably take advantage of the library here at Baruch, but I don’t know if I will.

The library tour on Aug 28 th was good.It was short and a sweet session. It gave an idea about the library in the Baruch and how to use the facility in that. It was useful in the later days since i could access some of the facilities like photocopying  and printing independently. It saves me a lot of money. I could use the library during my free time for studying and doing my work. I usually spend the afternoon in the library. The laptop and calculator lending was also useful. If  it was said 2 to3 days before it would have been better i would have got it  for my math. When i came the calculators ran out. Totally it was an informative session

Hello, this is Joo Ho Hong and I don’t really have anything to talk about the tour that my class had two weeks ago since I wasn’t there. The thing is I didn’t attend to the freshmen convocation on 27th so I was not informed that I was supposed to go to the library on the first class of this semester. I went to a wrong class on that day and it was silly.

However, my expectations of using the library is to get advanced information, to be able to study quietly in private section, and to borrow things such as labtop, calculator, books, and so forth. I have been using the library almost everyday since the first day of school and so far, I am satisfied with it. Even there are like a bunch of sofas that many people can have rest or relax. In my opinion, that is the best part because people need to have a break time to time while they study or concentrate on their work. And the sofas are able to give them rest just so they can restart doing their works more efficiently.
