media:scape Unit Now Available in the Harold Cohen Library

Do you need to work on something collaboratively?
We now have a media:scape unit in the Harold Cohen Library Refreshments & Group Study Room.
It has 2 flat screen, high resolution monitors and an integrated table that can be used for collaborative group work to facilitate the sharing and exchanging of ideas quickly and easily.

The media:scape can be used at any time for group work by connecting up to 6 laptops to the 'puck' unit in the centre of the table. Information can then be displayed on one or both of the inbuilt screens.

For more information or to book a session (you can use it on a first come first served basis if no bookings have been made)
