Technology Sandbox

Have you visited the Technology Sandbox yet? (https://library.concordia.ca/technology/sandbox/)

Opened in 2017 as part of the Webster Library Transformation, the Technology Sandbox is a community space where everyone can learn by doing, by making, by playing, and by sharing knowledge with each other – conveniently located on the second floor of the Webster Library building (LB 211) .

Some of the technologies in the space include 3d printers, sowing machines, virtual reality modules, Arduino computers and music synthesizers.

The Sandbox also offers a variety of technology workshops and provides audiovisual equipment that can be borrowed at the Loans & Returns Desk.

Media:scape in Webster Viewing Room

I tried out the media:scape system today when using the viewing room for a group project today. Great initiative!

However, when plugging in the “puck” to a library laptop, we couldn’t get it to work. We tried putting the laptop to sleep and reopening it. We got the puck
to light up but the monitor didn’t show anything. 

Wanted to let you know that it’s not working as easy as it should be. Good initiative though!

Thank you for reporting this. I have sent in a ticket to our technical support team.  By the way, for those of you that don’t know about media:scape, as a trial project, we have added media:scape to LB-351, the Webster Viewing Room. Media:scape is furniture and technology integrated together with dual screens to allow you to share information from your tablets and laptops.  To try it out, just book LB-351 (the Webster Viewing Room).

Sorry folks, media:scape is now on the second floor of the Webster Library, right next to the public holds shelf.  We are having some technical problems with it right now but we hope to resolve them soon.

Webster headphones

hello,
I want to complain about the headphones at Webster library. They do not transfer the sound properly and are an inferior quality than those available at the Vanier library.

Thank you very much for your comment and I will pass it on to the people in charge of the AV equipment in the Webster Library.
