Rodgers Library installed a new digital frame this summer. It’s located on the 1st floor, directly in front of the Reference Desk. The frame has a widescreen diagonal measurement of 19 inches. It displays stunning videos and crisp images. Rodgers is using the frame to highlight services provided by the library. Currently the frame features calculator checkouts, Interlibrary Loan requests, and the Annex to name a few. In addition, the frame has ‘How To’ guides detailing services. For example, locating new books in the online catalog and finding course reserves for classes. Rodgers digital frame is an awesome way to inform and connect with our students. Students are able to quickly and easily learn more about what the library has to offer. Take a look!

Academic Software Available in Rodgers
Rodgers Library offers a variety of specialized software on its computers. In addition to the normal suite of library and productivity software, several desktop computers are loaded with Maple, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, ChemBioOffice, MATLAB, Minitab, CHEMCAD, and Microsoft Visual Studio. The academic software is installed on several machines on the 1st floor in an area called “SciTech Software Lab.” And four Dell machines, loaded with academic software, are located on the 2nd floor. Departmental computer labs are still the best option for working on academic computing projects. But with Rodgers Library open more hours than departmental computer labs, students now have a choice of where to go when a class project requries use of specialized software.
