DEADY continued from page IB Deady Hall was dubbed a historical landmark, preventing changes to the structure's facade, so workers were forced to drill through the stone and insert the elevator through the floors. Math Professor Peter Gilkey said a tradition formed soon after the construction. Faculty members saved the stone bricks that were re moved; when one of the faculty re tires, the individual receives a piece of brick from the building. Some students who visit the build ing may be confused by the room numbering, but Gilkey offered a sim ple explanation. Some rooms, such as the Charley R. B. Wright Seminar Room, have bisected floors with low er ceilings than other rooms. "Deady Hall originally had only three floors but this was changed when they were bisected to make more office and classroom space," Assistant Archivist Sharia Davis said. Now, the floors start with a base ment, and include 1, 1M, 2, 2M, and 3. Some of the rooms have much higher ceilings than others. The reconstruction threw off the numbering system, but officials did n't want to renumber the floors, Math Department Undergraduate Secretary Erica Whitty said. Other faculty members said Deady Hall's obvious antique appeal makes it very interesting. They say that, just looking up from the outside, the hall has an overwhelming power. And with its highly arched staircases set on the west and east, they said, it has a distinctive look from other build ings on campus. "It's a beautiful building that I hope everyone appreciates, ’ Davis said. Richelte Riddle is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. LIBRARIES continued from page 8B way better than just a simple Internet search at home." Other campus research spots in clude the Architecture & Allied Arts Library and the Law Library. The Architecture & Allied Arts Li brary in Lawrence Hall contains 80,000 books and other materials on architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture, arts and ad ministration, art history, fine and ap plied arts, historic preservation and urban planning. The Law Library in the Law Center contains material for researching fed eral and state laws. Naoko Atsusaka, a second-year graduate in the planning, public poli cy and management program, said she goes to the libraries but starts her research in the computer labs. "1 always start doing research from the Internet at a computer lab, trying to get some general ideas of my top ic," she said. "This is an important process for me; through this process I'll be getting some important key words for my research topic. I would I then go to several online databases at the library's Web site. Without know ing those keywords, I won't get good hits at the databases." The University also has several computer labs available to students. The CC-EMIJ Microcomputing Lab located in room 22 of the EMU has the most computers, all equipped with word-processing, spreadsheets, desk top publishing and electronic commu nications, as well as Internet access. During the school year, the lab is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a m. to 2 a.m., Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m. The CC-McKenzie Lab, located in 101 McKenzie, has an instructional classroom and an open lab. Its hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Some of the campus libraries have computer labs, too. Both the Knight and Science li braries offer Information Technology Centers (ITCs), which are on their buildings' second floor and basement, respectively. The ITC provides access to on- and off-line electronic information induding Internet resources and mul timedia products. Ihe ITC's equipment indudes 32 Macintosh and 52 Win dows workstations. It is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a m. to mid night, Friday from 8 a m. to 7 p.m., Sat urday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sun day from 11 a.m. to midnight. Research, however, does not have to be a "location." For Johnson, find ing a person to ask or talk to is always another alternative. "I was doing a research paper on life in Lyon, France, during the En lightenment, which was a fairly ob scure topic, * he said. "But it turns out that a history professor here at the University does his diesis on Lyon." Johnson said he was able to inter view the professor, which yielded valuable information and related books on the topic. " Ihere are many passionate schol ars out there who most likely have a sincere interest in your topic," John son said. "They will be an invaluable resource, much better than any book or journal article." Noriko Miyazaki is a freelance reporter for the Emerald.
