Greetings from the Illinois Tech Libraries!

The libraries at Illinois Tech will continually evolve to anticipate patron needs, expand services, and provide physical and digital resources, as well as collaborative spaces, in order to promote innovation and learning across academic disciplines.

We have worked hard to reinvent the spaces in the library to offer our users places to innovate, collaborate, experiment, and grow.

We continue to enhance our Exploration Space, and recently added a Lulz Bot Taz 6 printer to enhance our 3-D printing service. We were able to collaborate with the Kaplan Innovation Center last year to install the innovation hub on the second floor, and our interview room has proven so popular that we have added an additional room, which, like our study rooms, can be easily reserved. We continue to value student success before and beyond graduation, and we have increased programming, such as our Study Rescue events and Self-care Pop-ups, for students to de-stress, relax, and reconnect.

If you are a member of our Illinois Tech community, I urge you to get involved with our library, as a member of our Library Faculty Committee, or as a member of our Student Advisory Group, or even just drop us a note and let us know what you’re thinking about at library@iit.edu! We do want to hear from you.     

Best,

Devin
