Spaces
Multimedia Room
Made possible through a generous gift from the USC School of International Relations, the Multimedia and Satellite Broadcast Learning Lab provides lecture, videoconferencing, and broadcast viewing space that supports instruction and multimedia-based collaborative research. Lab facilities offer the following:
- A PC workstation and overhead projection system for online instruction using the Web.
- Playback of video sources (DVDs, standard and foreign videos).
- Live viewing of domestic and world events and special satellite broadcast programs.
- Video recording of programs, though storage media must be provided by the user.
- Self-service, point-to-point videoconferencing system available at no charge to USC faculty, staff, and students.
- Four tables and fifty chairs that provide a flexible learning space for classroom lectures, PhD seminars, or special events.
Atrium
Open air space in the center of the library which allows for 360° theater seating and accommodates informal meetings, lectures, and seminars. The unique and tranquil atrium environment combines the focused atmosphere of a classroom with the fresh air of the outdoors.
Policies for Use
USC faculty, staff, and students may reserve these spaces on a first-come, first served basis for one-time class meetings, seminars, and/or events sponsored by USC faculty, staff, or student organizations. The lab and atrium are locked at all times, so patrons should first come to the library circulation desk to request that the space be opened and must inform a staff member at the desk when they have finished. Library faculty and staff can provide basic technical assistance in using the equipment.
If you have questions regarding these spaces or to make a reservation to use the Lab, please contact Mary Clark, VKC Library Supervisor. You can also call the VKC Circulation Desk at 213-740-1769 for assistance.
For use of the Lab for course-related library instruction sessions, please contact Dr. Robert V. Labaree at labaree@usc.edu or 213-740-5824.
