Library Student Advisory Board Activities
We value the knowledge, ideas, and effort the student advisors have contributed during their service on the Library Student Advisory Board. Student advisors' involvement assisted us in evaluating and making improvements to our services, spaces, resources, events, and policies.
Selected activities and improvements
- Group study rooms subcommittee assisted in evaluating the experience of using group
study rooms, including online reservations and key checkout.
- Relocated individual study furniture to quiet study floors. Moved large group tables to collaborative study areas.
- Simplified webpage information about study room reservations.
- Posted instructions for using SMARTkapp whiteboards.
- Peer outreach subcommittee explored ways to build awareness of the services, resources, and events offered by the University Libraries. They identified college-level outlets for disseminating information.
- Exhibit subcommittee recommended ways to showcase exhibits and student work displays, including research and art. They developed a proposal for remodeled exhibit spaces to incorporate into long-term facility renovation plans.
- Food and drink amenities subcommittee reviewed student comments and submitted recommendations
to TTU Hospitality Services, including the following:
- Sam's Express should have later operating hours
- Widen selection of food and coffee options—seeking better quality, lower prices, and more nutritious items
- Add a self-serve coffee vending machine with fresh coffee as an after-hours option when Sam's is closed; sell beverages on additional floors
- Provided feedback on printing, workshops, information literacy instruction, marketing, information for first-year students, product trials of Syndetics Unbound, and directional wayfinding in the building.
- Pilot-tested and distributed surveys to peers and colleagues.
- Suggested recruiting ideas and incentives for the new UX (User Experience) Café project for usability testing.
