That money was used to reach one of the library\u2019s top\nfundraising goals \u2013 installing an Adobe Creative Cloud workstation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis workstation provides students access to Adobe Creative\nCloud software, coupled with the computer hardware required to make the best\nuse of it. Most student laptops are not sufficient, even if they purchased\naccess to the software,\u201d said Morris Library Dean John Pollitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workstation features a Wacom Cintiq, a stylus-enabled, high-definition\ndisplay used by design professionals. This interface allows for fast, precise interaction\nwith digital content. It also supports the library\u2019s 3D printing service by\noffering 3D modeling software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These devices are cost-prohibitive for students to purchase,\nand they are rarely seen outside of design studios. This workstation represents\none of the very few venues in which an aspiring designer can learn to use\nprofessional-grade tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe workstation helps continue to position the library as a\nplace where information is not just stored and retrieved, but created,\u201d Pollitz\nsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Day of Giving is one of my favorite days of the year,\u201d\nPollitz said. \u201cThe entire community, alumni, students and staff interact\nthroughout the day across campus and there is just a great spirit of helping others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn about the needs of Morris Library and SIU Carbondale\nLibrary Affairs, visit foreversiu.org\/lib.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAY OF GIVING ENSURES MORRIS LIBRARY STAYS AHEAD OF THE CURVE By Rebecca Renshaw During the 2018 SIU Day of Giving, Morris Library raised $7,455 from 36 gifts.
