Digital Library & Learning Resources Center Nears Completion

Already regarded as a model project at the state level, the Digital Library & Learning Resources Center is nearing completion. Located on the Riverside Campus, the library will offer students and residents state-of-the-art research and technology services when it opens in 2003.

Designed to accommodate both current and future technology, the library offers multi-media internet broadcasting rooms, a computer commons area, a new media distribution center for instructional video on demand, wireless study areas, a media production area, faculty computer graphics workrooms, and video conferencing facilities. It also will house the current book, periodical, and research collections located in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library, and will offer all traditional library services.

Once opened, the new Digital Library & Learning Resources Center will function as the central library for the college district. Construction on the building is ahead of schedule, and a public grand opening is planned for fall 2003.
