Langsdale: A Student's Perspective

As the student liaison for the library, I’m updated on changes and improvements happening at Langsdale. By asking students around campus, I got a better idea of their opinions on Langsdale’s progress. The students who frequently came to the library were generally more enthusiastic about Langsdale, while students who rarely came told me what might bring them in.

Anna  Alrub, a freshman jurisprudence major, has been to the library twice. When asked what changes she thinks the library should make, Anna suggested adding more color to make it more inviting.

Some students focused more on the library’s service than environment. Shelby Cook, a junior government and public policy major, frequently comes to the library to get help. She went on to add that the librarians were friendly and knowledgeable. Barbara Sherrod, a junior English major, frequently visits Langsdale to get work done quietly. When I questioned Barbara about what she would like to see improved, she said, “more material in circulation,” more books.

Langsdale has been keeping up with the demands of students by adding a much-needed LCD-touchscreen scanner to the first floor. Also, we’ve added iPad kiosks to help you locate books and find reserves quickly. One useful new feature, released by Langsdale last semester, is the mobile site for on-the-go convenience.
This spring semester, Anna might want to come back to the library: the third floor is currently being re-modeled to provide more quiet study space.

Langsdale is focused on improvements that make the library experience more accommodating and comfortable for all.

Greetings from Langsdale's new student liaison Vincent Nowicki

Hello, my name is Vincent Nowicki. I’m a sophomore at The University of Baltimore.
My major is Jurisprudence and I’m the student liaison for Langsdale Library.
I feel my job as liaison is to be a bridge of communication between students, faculty,
and the library. As liaison you will see me all over campus promoting the library every
way I can. One of my personal goals as the liaison is to strengthen Langsdale’s social
media sites (facebook and twitter). Langsdale Library has a lot to offer and these sites are
good way of finding out new things that are going on in the library. I’m always around
campus if you see someone promoting the library it is most likely me. Don’t be afraid to
come up and say hi or ask me a question. This is going to be a great year for UB and
Langsdale. I hope to see you all soon. Remember, like us on
facebook https://www.facebook.com/langsdalelibrary Thank you.
