I was in the library the other night and decided to do some observations of what I saw. Double Entry observations of course! See the attached photo. Anyways, I came to ask myself the following questions afterwards:
- What surprised me?
- I think the thing that surprised me the most was the amount of time wasted by Belmont students in the library. It seems as if at least 75% of the students I observed were on social media websites or wasting time.
- What intrigued me?
- I was very intrigued by the students that seemed to actually be studying. They were able to zone out the rest of the shenanigans by putting on headphones and keeping to themselves.
- What disturbed me?
- I think overall, the primary purpose of the library has changed. It used to be that students would only visit the library when they were serious about research. Now it seems as if the Library has changed to a social hangout where hardly any work gets done. This is truly sad in my opinion.
