Multimedia services at the Maughan Library

We’ve listened to your feedback and made a number of improvements to our multimedia facilities at the Maughan Library:

2 new group study rooms GS3 and GS4 (bookable desks in room GS3) and additional study spaces.
New group viewing facilities with 3 multi-region Blu-ray players, 43” screens and Sennheiser headphones.
Refreshed individual viewing facilities for Blu-ray and DVD conveniently located next to the film collection.
4 new midi keyboards with sound cards and Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones.
Additional student computers, including one connected to the large midi keyboard, with access to Sibelius.

We’ve also improved your resources:

We’re buying more films on DVD and Blu-ray.
More flexible 24-hour rolling loans for films and scores have been introduced.
VHS copies have been replaced with DVDs where available.
Added more copies of core ‘not for loan’ films, so they’re available to watch in the library.
We’ve made a selection of films available online via Kanopy.
Working on making DVDs easier to find by rearranging them into a single sequence, and easier to access by getting rid of locked cases.
Music recordings and scores have been collated together on one floor.
Made the King’s Sound Archive collection of 150,000 78rpm records discoverable in Library Search.

We’re introducing a new tailored library skills course:
