 Hello and welcome to Ohio University's Alden Library, where we help to empower our students, faculty, and staff in research, knowledge, discovery, and success. Once you come into Alden Library, you'll know right away we're more than books. Alden is a prime space for studying, coffee breaks, and a media center and maker space. Along with that, we also have tutoring and accessibility services. I love that tutoring is free. My chemistry class is really tough. Hi, I'm Molly, your chemistry tutor. What would you like to work on today? I'm having trouble balancing some equations. Can I share the one I'm ready to help with? Okay, let's get started. At Alden, you can get free tutoring and accommodations in the Academic Achievement Center and the accessibility services located on the second floor. Oh my gosh, I can't figure out how to do a SWOT analysis. Hey there, I'm Chad. I'm the business librarian and I can help you with that. In fact, there is a subject librarian for every major on campus. To schedule an appointment with a librarian, you can do so online or go to one of the service desks. If you're someone who's used accommodations in high school, the transition to college might be different. Hi, I'm Christy Cosma, currently the interim director of accessibility services and an accessibility coordinator. What should a student needing accommodations expect? The main difference between high school and college accommodations is that students need to advocate for themselves. They need to initiate the process of seeking accommodations. Accessibility services is happy to walk students through this process as their input matters just as much as documentation or any previous accommodations they had. Thanks for clearing that up. You're welcome. I like the silent study area in the Alden library because I can actually hear myself think. We also have spaces for groups to gather and study. Hi everyone and welcome to today's math 1200 SI session. So what did you guys think of class yesterday? We really had trouble understanding how to do absolute value equations. Yeah, that concept can definitely be pretty confusing. Anyone else think they can help? Yeah, I think I've got it done pretty well. I can show you how to do it. SI stands for supplemental instruction and is a series of weekly study sessions that are facilitated by students who have already taken and done well in the course. We have many, many books so it could be difficult looking for one in the stacks. If you ever need help, look for a phone and a staff member will come to assist. Alden library, this is Ryan. Can I help you? I can't find the math books. Can you help me? Yeah, sure. I'll be right there. Thank you. You can also entirely skip a tour in the stacks and request your book online at Ohio.edu slash library. When you request a book online, you'll get an email once it's ready for pickup. I'm glad Alden library makes it so quick and easy for me to pick up the books that I need. We also have printers here at Alden library. With bobcat cash, you can use your Ohio ID to print out your stellar essay. Nice, I wrote this paper in two hours last night and it's really important for me to get a good grade. Do you have time to look this over for me? Yeah, sure. Thanks for stopping into the writing comments. Let's take a look at your favorite together and find some ways to improve it. Cool, thank you. Can I have my stopper please? Of course. I'm just so stressed. I'm in like three different clubs. I work part-time. I just love going to all the football games and trying to bobcats. I really need help creating a plan to set me up for success. Well, lucky for you, I'm actually an academic coach. Our offices are right down there on this floor of Alden. I can help with time management, make the study plan, stay organized. It's a really great service. Awesome. Hi, I'm working on a class assignment where I have to record bird songs and catalog them into a report. Do you have any equipment I could use for that? Heck, yeah, I do. I have here a camera with SD cards all available on there. We have several different types of microphones that you're going to be needing to use. We have multiple different types CD drives there, DVD drives, you're going to be needing for recording. You're going to have here some HDMI cords. You're going to have some probably a need for HDMI adapters as well. You're going to definitely need a ring light to help brighten up the scene a little bit. So we'll just put that right there. You're going to need an external battery pack for all of this, SD card reader for all the various different things. And of course, laptops and a charger and a mouse. Okay.
