Library Annual Survey
The annual library survey is now live and listening!
Tell us how the library’s collections, services, and spaces mattered to YOU in 2024. If you’ve ever used our website or stepped foot in the Ross Pendergraft Library & Technology Center, we want to hear what you think about your library.
The survey is shorter and quicker to get through. So let us know what we do best, and how we can improve. For a list of how we have responded to past survey results, see our latest blog entry.
Spatial Audio Research Guide
What is Spatial Audio?
Have you ever listened to Apple Music, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, VR games, or a DVD with a surround sound home theatre? Chances are high that you have experienced spatial audio.
This new technological advancement is similar to when sound recordings shifted from mono to stereo format. The Spatial Audio Research Guide provides a wealth of information to get you started in your journey with this exciting development in the audio recordings we experience on a daily basis.
