Tip 13: 3D Printing. About three years ago we opened a 3D Printing Studio in Rodgers Library. Services offered include: 3D printing, 3D scanning, training workshops, and do it yourself 3D printing. Supporting 3D design and conversion software is installed on the workstations within the 3D Studio. The 3D printers are capable of creating a multitude of 3D plastic objects.

Tip 12: Course Reserves. Many faculty use extra materials to enhance instruction in the classroom. In the library, we refer to these materials as course reserves. Commonly faculty put books from the Rodgers Library collection or personal copies of books on reserve. Other materials may be appropriate too. If the content you want to use is in digital format it is probably more convenient to link digital content in your class syllabus or Blackboard Learn. Learn more about how we handle course reserves.
