Hello, welcome to the online tour of the University of Washington’s arts libraries. During our tour we’ll visit the build environments library in Gould
Hall, right off of campus parkway, the music library, located in the quad., the art library, also located in the quad. And finally, the drama library,
located in Hutchinson Hall. Our first stop is the built environments library. This library has computers available for use,
comfy lounge areas with zebra chairs, laptops, and cameras available for class projects, and an amazing model of the city of Seattle. It’s a great
place to get some work done, get access to some high quality resources, and it’s conveniently close to the dorms.
Next, we move to the music library, located at the NW corner of the quad. The music library is on the first floor of the building and it’s a peaceful,
beautiful place to do homework and study. The secret, hidden resource however is in the basement portion of the library where there’s a
listening station lab. There are a lot of stations to check out the music and movies available in the collection. But keep in mind that all of the items
have to stay in the library. Just West across the walkway from the music library is the art library. There are lots of amazing
and helpful resources in the library here which is on the first floor of the building. There are thousands of books about all kind of art. What I
want to make sure that you all know about right now though, is the online database, ARTSTOR; which has images of just about any paining,
photograph or sculpture or building that you could ever want to see. Any of the reference librarians here can show you how to use it, and help you
find exactly what you’re looking for, even if you don’t already know. The last stop on our tour is the drama library in
the basement of Hutchinson Hall. The drama library has a computer lab, printer and scanner, a nice quiet study space and an incredible library of
recorded sounds available for use. This is awesome when editing videos for class, recording music or creating video games among
any other purpose you could name for it. Husky students need many different things in their studies at the University of Washington. The
libraries and their staffs are here to help meet those needs and provide access to a wide variety of resources. It’s also nice to know that there are
many different spaces on campus that a student can study, get some peace and quiet or just relax. I hope you keep the arts libraries in mind the next
time you’re looking for one of these things. Thank you!
