MSU Library Opens ‘Think Tank’

STARKVILLE, Miss.–A new meeting room on the third floor of Mitchell Memorial Library now is open to provide faculty and students with a technology-filled space designed to enhance collaborative learning and research.

It is designed specifically for small-group meetings, Blackboard Collaborate and other web-based conference activities, group training, search committee meetings requiring Skype, and presentation practices.

Three of four walls are coated with IdeaPaint that converts the space into floor-to-ceiling white boards. Some of the room’s featured technologies include a PC with wireless mouse, keyboard and webcam, a 60-inch LED television, and conference telephone system. Available software includes Microsoft Office 2010, Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe Acrobat, VLC, Skype, and Camtasia.
