AT THE CENTER OF THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE: THE LIBRARY

It's back to school time across the United States, and it's no different here at the U.S. Army War College. What's different this year is that the resident class of academic year 2024 will arrive at a brand new academic facility, dubbed the new Root Hall by faculty and staff. It's a beautiful building with every detail designed around facilitating the education of leaders today and well into the future. And of course, you can't have a school without a library, but this isn't the library you remember from grade school. Greta Braungard, Academic Library Division Chief, and Heather Goyette, Knowledge Commons Branch Chief, join podcast editor Ron Granieri to explain the features and innovations of the new facility. From movable stacks and digital databases to self-checkout and a whole new spectacular view (quite a change from the previous basement location), the new library will be at the center of the student body's research effort. If you are a new student or faculty member at the Army War College, be sure to make time for a 20-minute guided tour during one of the upcoming library open houses listed below: Monday, August 7, 2023, 1300 and 1500 Tuesday, August 8, 2023, 1300 and 1500 Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 1300 and 1500 Thursday, August 17, 2023, 1300 and 1500
