Gannett 319 has been developed for use by the Center for Faculty Excellence, the Library, and individual faculty and staff members. The room has 5 collaboration pods with two displays. A Crestron unit and interactive Eno board/stylus support collaboration and lecture modes, with a wireless keyboard for the instructor and each pod.

Faculty and staff are encouraged to experiment and to use Gannett 319. Interested parties should email Karenn Reeter to arrange to use Gannett 319. In advance of a scheduled session, users must check out the Gannett 319 Kit from the Multimedia Services Desk using an Ithaca College ID. The kit is necessary to access the room and to use the room's technology (collaboration pods, Eno board, and projection system). Users are encouraged to bring personal laptops. There are also laptops that may be checked out at the Circulation Desk, depending on availability. Gannett 319 was designed to be as intuitive to use as possible. However, there is a small learning curve in order to get comfortable with room's controls and technology. Users should contact the ITS help desk for technical assistance.

The Library and the Center for Faculty Excellence host introductory sessions for Gannett 319 throughout the academic year. Interested faculty and staff are encouraged to attend.

As our popular collection continues to shrink due to full-text online access becoming available, the Library does not actually have a supply of issues ready to be discarded at any one time. We also bind some of the popular weekly periodicals, as their visual content is important for research in some courses. Check with the campus mail room for surplus issues that have not been picked up. Also, check with the Tompkins County Public Library Friends group for remainders of magazines they could not sell. Here is their website for the booksale : Contact page
To comply with Copyright guidelines, the library will scan up to 10% of a book for electronic reserve. If faculty need more than 10% on electronic reserve, the library will attempt to get copyright permission from the Copyright Clearance Center. Obtaining copyright permission depends on if the publisher has pre-approved the work for reserve/electronic reserve, and, the cost of the permission. This actual cost may depend on the number of students enrolled in the class, the amount of material being placed on electronic reserve, and fees set by the publisher. Fees can range anywhere from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars per item. Copyright fees are paid for by the faculty member's department.
