| - I am in luv.
This library is just phenomenal. Beautiful. Peaceful. You get to bring food and drinks in too, so you can be comfortable!
Open 7:30 AM - Midnight most days, the Lied library is full of helpful staff and student workers and amazing resources. I have gotten such excellent help from librarians here, whether in person or via the chat/IM functions online. I called at 7:30 AM today to get a book sent over from CSN and "sure, no problem!" I request a print journal and the LASR (Lied Automatic Storage Retrieval) robot brings it down within minutes.
For one of my classes, I video-interviewed the former UNLV President who helped get the library started and funded yesterday. Then I took our video feeds and equipment from the library (camera, tripod, memory card) to the media lab where my classmate and I can store and edit our video clips, with the help of a full-time staff member.
When I am working on statistics projects or dissertation research, I hop up to the third floor's graduate student computer lab where it is quiet and has the software I need. The lab even sells snacks and has a fridge for those of us who tend to work too hard, camp out, and forget to eat.
When I need articles from journals UNLV does not have, Interlibrary Loan gets them for me ASAP. I have access to CSN and NSC libraries plus LinkPlus - libraries from the region (just got a book from Azusa Pacific within days) - Utah, Cali, Arizona....
Anyone can get what they need here, and remote access from home is just as easy. Students are so fortunate to have the building and services of Lied Library!
