The IMC recently upgraded some of our student study rooms to include RamCast systems. The split room of 103 East and West, as well as the 105 viewing room, have brand new wall mounted TV Monitors. RamCast is a study and collaborative tool allowing you to share the screens of your laptops, phones, or other smart devices. It’s a very useful setup if you have a group project and you don’t want to crowd around a single laptop. Unlike the other RamCast enabled study spaces in the FHG library rooms 103 East and West can be reserved for up to a 2 hour block. For those of you not familiar with this screen-sharing technology, please talk to a staff member at a library help desk. We will be happy to get you set up!
This group of students are using RamCast to enhance their studying experience.
We hope you are as excited by these new upgrades as we are! We’d love to hear your thoughts, either stop by the desk or you could let us know by emailing LIBIMC@wcupa.edu .
If you are interested in reserving a RamCast enabled study room please stop by the IMC desk or give us a call at 610-436-3395.
In honor of Valentine’s Day not being just about one type of love, the IMC is hosting a “Bromance” DVD display, featuring movies you might watch with your closest bro. Happily, this display included the movie Rocky [IMC DVD 796.83 R684 2001], which I have never seen and have always meant to (and now finally had the chance!).
Rocky is one of the best feel-good movies I have seen in a long time. Throughout the whole movie, you can’t help but smile at his character and his quirky relationship with Adrian, the sister of Rocky’s friend Paulie. He is an extremely likeable character, but he struggles with the image of being a wash-up, ignored by his boxing manager and dismissed by the neighborhood. Yet everything changes when Rocky’s name is picked to fight opposite Apollo Creed. Suddenly, people are paying attention to him and he shines, pushing himself into hard training before the match. I can’t say enough good things about this movie. If you haven’t had the chance to watch this classic Philadelphia movie, you should definitely make the time!
Come check out the IMC’s newest DVD display, and tweet us @FHGLibrary with the movie that you’re currently watching this Valentine’s weekend. Check out what other movies you should see at https://letterboxd.com/peterstanley/list/1001-movies-you-must-see-before-you-die .
