Cross Your Fingers
UCF Libraries recently submitted a Technology Fee proposal. The proposal, if approved, would have three major components: 1.) a redesign of the Rosen Library's instruction room, turning it into a collaborative workspace with computers and various seating options, 2.) the addition of electrical outlets in the main room of the Rosen Library, and 3.) the addition of several portable computing devices (iPads and netbooks) for student checkout.
