The Center for Student Innovation (CSI) on the lower level of Booth Library includes three large areas: an Active Learning Classroom with integrated Design Lab and adjoining breakout rooms; an Innovation Gateway and Community Wall; and a Collaboratory.
The CSI is home to a variety of new technology, including a podcasting studio, gaming computers, 3D printers, Google jamboard, large computer monitors and a green screen, purchased with a grant from the Illinois State Library. Patrons who would like access to the CSI technology should make a request online.
In addition, the Technology Checkout Station has moved to the LTS Desk on the fourth floor of Booth Library. Students with a valid Panther Card may check out technology such as laptop computers, digital cameras, and webcams for a limited period of time. Technology checkout will begin on the first day of the semester, August 21, and checkout hours will follow the hours of the library.
The Faculty Development and Innovation Center hosts a series of workshops and a Teaching and Learning Community in the Active Learning Classroom.
