Get SMART!

Magrath Library will be having a grand opening celebration for their SMART Learning Commons on Wednesday, April 25, 2007 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. “There will be free food and prizes, and a chance to learn about the services, history, and philosophy of the SMART Learning Commons.�

Did you know that the Magrath commons hosts a coffee break every Tuesday from 1-3 pm, where they serve coffee, cookies, and fresh popcorn?

Did you also know that there are now SMART Learning Commons at three locations at the university? Klaeber Court (East Bank), Magrath Library (St. Paul), and Wilson Library (West Bank). A fourth location, in Walter Library, is in the planning stage.

Do you know about all the cool services and equipment that the SMART Learning Commons offers for students at all of their locations? Not only do you have access to great technology, but you can get one-on-one assistance from Peer Learning Consultants in areas like mathematics, sciences, statistics, economics, writing, German, Spanish, and library research (check out the schedule!). There are also introductory workshops in Excel, PowerPoint, and other academic services available!

It's amazing how much the St Paul location took off. When they first came in, Magrath circ students were holding their own laptops for them, to be checked out like a book. They would find a table in the library with a student, mostly by appointment. Last summer, a home was built for them just outside the library where they have their own cubicle offices, tables, etc.
