SLAC began the year by deciding to focus on making small changes that will make a big difference to Cal Poly students. They designed and carried out a survey of all Cal Poly students in fall quarter to determine what changes to focus on based on student priorities.

They are developing specific recommendations and actions, focusing on five high priority areas:

  1. Later main library hours on Friday and Saturday nights.
  2. Adding access to power for laptop users.
  3. Creating a more welcoming environment through more student artwork, more comfortable chairs, etc.
  4. Improving usability of the Atrium as a study area.
  5. Increasing access to desktop computers.


Spring 2010

In its first year, the founding Council members began meeting weekly in April and in the course of only two months, advised the Library on how to reach students through both web- and print-based media. They also provided significant input to the Library's website, resulting in improved access to Library social media sites, and easier access to information about Library study spaces and computing resources. They also provided leadership and direction to students continuing their work in the following year.
