Before Visiting the John Peace Library at UTSA

         I was really hesitant when it came to choosing a university library just because they end up being very large in size and hard to find. I was able to go online to look at what they offer at this particular library. The name of the library at University of Texas in San Antonio is the John Peace library. I absolutely love love love love the hours of operation. They close at 12:00 AM but during the original school year they are open 24 hours a day. How awesome is that! The only university library that I have ever been to has been the University of Texas at Brownsville, which is the Arnulfo L. Oliveira. I plan to go towards the night just because I heard from friends that not many people go at night. Then which in turn means I can find parking and not walk from one side of the campus to the total opposite side.

            What I also got from the website is based on students input, renovations have been made to enhance series for the UTSA community along with student accommodations. Some of these include:

·      Display area for DVDs and other items in the media collection

·      Display area for newly introduced popular reading collection

·      New study tables wired for power

·      Integration of new furniture to create 50 additional study seats

            This is something that other universities should take into consideration because it is the students after all that use the library. One thing that I really hope to learn is the different technology that is being used because I am pretty sure it varies between campuses and some are more technology friendly than others. Lets see what I can get my hands on.
