    Howard-Tilton Memorial Library

    This place is a gorgeous bit of mid century architecture. I love libraries, plain and simple but I…read morego out of my way to spend time here. As far as space usability, this place is on par with other universities. The book stacks are less. The technology is more present and the space is more welcoming of an evolving culture. There are spaces for gathering. Plenty of study rooms. The first floor is for conversations, traffic, groups and snacks at the coffee bar. It's a home away from home for graduate students. So yeah, we like it pretty well.

    I'll admit, with the volume of material that a library has, it is understandable for a library to…read morebe a bit of a labyrinth, but navigation Howard Tilton for that molding book on Easter Island or African Diaspora is too much of an adventure for my taste. Their catalog is straightforward enough, but the book rows are all over the place and sometimes difficult to follow. Not to mention the fact that the majority of the stacks are in low-ceiling, basement like spaces, giving one the sense that they are in the opening ghost scene from "Ghostbusters." Also, for a library building, Howard Tilton is rather noisy. Of course, people will chitchat as they do, but the HVAC units are constantly roaring and the staircases echo like anything. If you get a couch seat on the third floor while the sun is still up, then I'll admit, it makes for a lovely reading space. Also... thank the good lord they put a PJ's coffee inside!
