The library seems to be slow this semseter. Probably b/c no one knows where it is or doesn't want to take the time to find out. An idea was suggested, from a fellow peer, that we be open from 2-4 pm in the Writing Center instead of the library this semester or in future semesters. Here's why.
1) Because people already know where the Writing Center is.
2) Several students have come here to the WC and we've referred them to the Library site. They never make it to the Library site. Perhaps b/c they don't want to look for it because it is hard to find. Or don't want to walk across the campus to get there. As a result, the peer coaches spend 3 hours in that room doing nothing.
3) Lack of peer coaches in the Library site.
4) Library room it too small and easily overcrowded. Therefore, students don't get the privacy they deserve when in the Library site.

Those are excellent reasons, Dave. However, I think the principal rationale for having a mini-center in the Library would be its proximity to the huge number of books it has. Others?
