I also have to shout out Geoff because I frequently (but purposefully) request very obscure ILL requests, and he always makes a point to either secure the item or write me a personal note.a sensory room. There might not be space, but the Yonkers Public Library just opened a sensory room at their riverfront branch. It has things like liquid tiles and a bubble tube. Dorm Scene

Sensory room, take home kits of some kind, more book swap type things (we could have a little free library)Professors!! realistic ones, the timeline often makes no sense for Learning Commons options. More than half of the brainstorming-type sessions are after I have already declared my topic for a class. They feel very out of touch and stuffy. It is also so weird that only STEM classes really have tutoring. Even if say a sociology class is hyper-specific, there could be vocab crash courses. I also find it strange that the Learning Commons staff and library staff are so separated. They are doing similar jobs, teambuilding would be so nice!SPACE. I need places to be outside of my dorm but inside of a building. Barb is often packed when I need it and I rarely even think to use Heimbold's spaces.book clubs!! I am so frustrated by how little I read for fun. It makes me sad. I also think like very very basic "How to use a library... at all" courses would be great. I have gone here a while and I feel like I am still learning these hidden secrets as to how to succeed at SLC which is really awful! We could be supporting generative practices but often we gatekeep them. The current work of the library honestly feels like the only staff member (non-faculty) who is in touch with SEL and trauma-informed care. Puzzles and joy are important!! We are still learning how to be people, and strict academia leads to severe burnout.Dorm Scene

SPEND MONEY ON BOOKS AND RESEARCH MATERIALS, not crafts (this feels self explanatory but apparently not)Studying. No more parties or events or games. We have a campus center and a visual arts studio. You are the LIBRARY, the only place on campus that is solely dedicated to academics, so why are you trying to distract students from their class work?!?!? focus on academic advising, meeting distribution requirements, research help, things that a library was meant to do. real books, because you are a LIBRARY. i genuinely do not understand why you are worried about puzzles, it is utterly ridiculous. BOOKS!! FULL JSTOR ACCESS!! HARD COPIES OF RESEARCH MATERIALS!! ARCHIVE ACCESS!! literally anything that will help students complete academic work efficiently. as one of few colleges that promotes undergraduate research, you would think that academic materials would have priority over anything else. obviously this is not the case as you continually move away from “boring conference projects” (your words) and foster anti-intellectualism on campus.

A few times a weekNever213N/AN/A1234N/A5Librarians have always been very eager to help me with finding books, answering questions about ILL, and helping with any troubleshooting of technology and book check out. I have always had trouble with study room booking. Or perhaps the issue is that I am commuter graduate student, and I rely on public transportation to get to campus. I live in Harlem and I wish it was easier and less expensive to travel to campus. My understanding of the majority of the study rooms is that they are first come first served. For students who would like to take advantage of the study rooms but for whom is it more challenging to get to campus than residential students, the study rooms are hard to take advantage of because they are usually already filled by students, unless there were more that were available for advance booking. In this case, I would reserve in advance and take advantage of the days I am on campus. My suggestion is either more study rooms, or more study rooms that are reservation only, or placing a time limit on the study rooms so more students can take advantage of this resource. Additionally, graduate students are often working on group projects, and more spaces for groups of students to collaborate would be appreciated.31N/A42N/A5N/AN/A54N/AN/A3N/A12N/A4N/AN/A5N/AAudio/video editingPodcasting studioKate Zambreno, anyone from the SLC MFA in writing programThe graduate programs (I am in the MFA in writing program) often feel disconnected from the rest of the campus's resources and events. I've never been made aware of our program director providing resources for faculty or passing on information about any library events or resources to students. This is something I would love the graduate program administration to explore and encourage. I would love to see more collaboration. In my experience, I've had to go out of my way as a student to go to each department of the college and personally find out about resources and events offered. As a graduate student, I would be interested in workshops about thesis work specific to MFA in writing thesis work, how to access the archives to conduct creative/writing research, opportunities for faculty of the MFA to give lectures/share their expertise/knowledge with the wider campus. Additionally, I know the library offers writing tutoring and research consultations to graduate students, but the only time I have heard of these resources is from the new library emails sent to all students (which I love and are very helpful), but again I would love the graduate programs administration and each of the program directors, including the MFA in Writing leadership, to collaborate and share resources with the library.The access to books is amazing! Especially Geoff, ILL wizard! Has been so helpful in helping me secure obscure books from other libraries. I would really love to learn more about the expertise of the college librarians (make use of their research/archival knowledge) in addition to the more practical aspect of more study rooms and spaces!more collaboration between the MFA in writing program, and all MFA programs. I repeat myself, but also more study rooms! Overall, I am so happy with the new programming and increased communication from the library this past year- it is very exciting to learn more about the library and see more events. Reading Vogue

I love seeing the old photos of Sarah Lawrence, so some sort of exhibition that features those would be cool. Maybe a sort of archive photo of the week/month sort of thing! The library is most useful to me as a study space outside my dorm, which may sound redundant but I find the library offers the widest variety of study spaces within the building that help me to focus and get work done.I honestly think the library is one of the only spaces on campus where I am fully satisfied with the resources available. If I had to pick one thing, maybe a talking/ambient noise space for students who want a little bit of socializing while they studyDorm Scene

Wow, so many! I definitely would love to hear more from the students, but specifically ensure that there are differences in the students being interviewed (ex: different backgrounds, concentrations, etc). I also would love to hear more from our professors, as some of our professors have accomplished incredible milestones!I would love more conference work study event sessions! Sometimes all it takes is for a group of people to get together to do conference work to truly get into a zone of conference work research!Having the individual study spaces has been great (I'm someone who enjoys solitude when studying) and having everything pretty much accessible on our website has been awesome as well! I also am immensely grateful for our interdiscplinary library loan system!I wish the Library could offer more events that combine study sessions and entertainment/fun times (ex: conference work day with snacks and refreshments in the pillow room)Our Old Library

Definitely professors and higher ups Maybe more workshops related to art? I'm not sure. I believe the learning commons has a lot of resources people can use.Being able to use the resources here! I believe that our schools sources are very much underestimated- we have a lot of connections to resources which I really enjoy! More events that engage with the community!
