It would be nice if the library had space to be lound on computers and other computers dedicated for quiet work.
Betsy commented on 10/19 at 11:59 PM
It would be great if there were a couple laptops for checkout for library use only so people interested in quiet work could take a laptop to a quiet corner rather than trying to work in the noisy computer area.
lynne commented on 10/28 at 08:36 PM
Is it possible to put the computers into a room of their own, maybe with a door? The clicking of the computer keys does bother me.
Juli commented on 10/29 at 10:48 AM
A seperate buzz friendly room. Cellphones set to vibrate would be allowed. People often need access to phones while on the computer to make plane reservations. Library use laptops for quiet corners would make a nice compliment to technological needs..
Craig Kneeland commented on 10/30 at 05:26 AM
A technology lab set up for robot construction and related instruction is recommended. Learners would use laptops and robot kits. The instructor would require a projector surface easily visible from workstations, each station accommodating 2-3 students. A larger demonstration table is also needed for students to demonstrate completed projects.
There is a demand for pleasurable, focused, interactive, technology learning of the type afforded by robots. The science, math, and language skills developed from interactive projects have been demonstrated. Often there is not this kind of public space available elsewhere, including school classrooms. This recommendation is from a robotics instructor who is often throwing together this type of lab setting within elementary school classrooms. I’m available for further details. Craig

It would be nice to have some Apple computers available for the Internet center—both the 15-minute/short-term and one-hour/longer-term usage. Apple computers are more ‘user-friendly’ for media applications, like video, pictures, graphics, etc.
joel commented on 11/05 at 04:06 PM
Would the library add a place for me to use my iTunes?
From paper comment form commented on 11/06 at 10:45 AM
The computers are REALLY slow!
From paper comment form commented on 11/06 at 10:53 AM
Maybe more cool lights. Energy eco-friendly lights.
From paper comment form commented on 11/06 at 10:57 AM
A couple more computers.
Jan commented on 11/06 at 01:32 PM
what about laptops for patrons to use in the library so i could work at any table?
From paper comment form commented on 11/06 at 04:12 PM
Need more computers!
Marcie commented on 11/06 at 06:25 PM
I took classes for computers, but they weren’t applicable to my computer.
Staff at CIC are very helpful. Continue to have staff to help with computer issues.
From paper comment form commented on 11/06 at 06:25 PM
More classes on internet technology.
Glenn commented on 11/07 at 11:50 AM
Keep technology updated. Add more bandwidth, without enough bandwidth the internet is useless. The library needs more bandwidth. It’s awesome that you have wi-fi.
From paper comment form commented on 11/09 at 11:59 AM
1. To add special sections for extensive researches. (Time available on the computer.)
2. Web site instruction of English and how the US system works.
From paper comment form commented on 11/09 at 04:42 PM
Have private computer stations so you can work alone.
From paper comment form commented on 11/09 at 04:52 PM
- Music stations
- Lots of computers and wifi
- Interactive TVs/touchscreens
- Video games
- Video editing - you tube downloading
Senior Center Input Session commented on 11/09 at 09:54 PM
More computers for patrons. People often have to wait too long to get on a computer.
Carissa commented on 11/10 at 09:31 AM
Internet connection seems slow some days - faster speeds might allow more people to utilize the internet computers and reduce the need to purchase more computers.
Thanks.
Ed Cheramy commented on 11/10 at 10:44 AM
Although I personally like the feel of “real books” I also know that the kindle reading devices are a coming fact of like. I suggest you experiment with them first, the acquire more if the demand is warranted.
Senior Center Input Session commented on 11/10 at 12:48 PM
There needs to be more computer space with new technology, maybe add some Apple computers.
Charlotte commented on 11/10 at 06:33 PM
I would love to see the online experience for searching and requesting books updated. I find the online catalog is not as easy to use as one would expect (keyword searches rarely turn up the book I’m looking for) and online hold requests could be improved by letting us know how many holds are already in line.
Thanks!
Jon commented on 11/10 at 08:00 PM
Thanks for the chance to give input. I suggest you keep the internet connection fast. A few times lately it seems to bog down in the afternoon when I’ve been there.
Michelle commented on 11/10 at 09:49 PM
My suggestion does not require any additional space, just investment. The search engine for the catalogs is woeful. I suggest new software altogether.
Peter L commented on 11/11 at 06:46 AM
You need to plan for computers and their infrastructure. This building was not designed for computers, so the wiring is a mess. You need to recognize that computers are a big part of people’s lives.
Use technology and software to simplify things for patrons at the computers. Make it easier to get your printouts. Use the software instead of having a staff member just sitting there. You will save lots more money that way.

Your computer person is fabulous - more people need to know of his services.
From paper comment form commented on 11/12 at 08:38 AM
I can foresee that this area will need to be much larger - especially as our seasonal residents increase.
From paper comment commented on 11/12 at 08:46 AM
More computers - students, job searchers. Others need more than 1 hour a day, or at a time.
From paper comment form commented on 11/13 at 08:21 AM
Continue to offer classes to help people learn software programs that can help with job skills.
From paper comment form commented on 11/13 at 08:33 AM
Need more computers.
From paper comment form commented on 11/13 at 08:49 AM
More tables for people to use to study. The internet is important for people, especially those new to town. When I first moved here it was my only source of internet for 1 month.
From paper comment form commented on 11/13 at 08:54 AM
Computers are great - get MORE computers! Keep the connection speed fast.
From paper comment form commented on 11/13 at 02:00 PM
Separate section for computer/technology area - near entrance, easy to find/access.
From paper comment form commented on 11/14 at 09:00 AM
Have another day (2 days a week) for computer classes and maybe some additional hours.
from paper comment commented on 11/15 at 06:07 PM
I have no technology needs. As a traditional reader I have watched the transition from library to multimedia information center with regret and dismay. The new media spaces are bustling with activity, so you are clearly responding to the needs of your new constituency. But his busy building seems less and less like a library.
from paper comment commented on 11/15 at 06:07 PM
More computers.
from paper comment commented on 11/15 at 06:08 PM
Wireless Internet is great. Many computers - great! Maybe a movie area for those who do not have finances to have a TV or VCR in their home?
from paper comment commented on 11/15 at 06:10 PM
What about providing a separate area for Skype access, considering that we have a multicultural, highly traveled community. This would serve to bring the world home to Jackson Hole.
from paper comment commented on 11/15 at 06:11 PM
More computer classes for new computer users in English.
from paper comment commented on 11/15 at 06:11 PM

Computer area works well, no complaints.
From paper comment form commented on 11/16 at 01:09 PM
Bigger computer center - Add more 1 hour computers because sometimes you have to wait for these or get kicked off.
From paper comment form commented on 11/16 at 02:10 PM
The computer area needs to be expanded. Perhaps a room of its own? Also cell phone usage doesn’t seem to be discouraged as well as a quiet atmosphere.
From paper comment form commented on 11/16 at 05:08 PM
The library is meeting my technology needs more than adequately.
Lokey commented on 11/16 at 06:48 PM
I don’t really like to see the reference section shrink but I know that many resources are switching over to electronic media. I appreciate very much the ability to access some of the library’s electronic reference materials through the internet from home (with my library card) so that I don’t have to use a computer at the library. Perhaps this could be expanded. Please keep carrying the Novels for Students series. The library is missing some volumes. Is it possible to acquire the missing volumes? (hard or electronic?)
From paper comment form commented on 11/17 at 09:33 AM
Computers could be more succinct in areas such as Interlibrary loans and fiction books often found in the decimal system instead of under author in fiction.
From paper comment form commented on 11/17 at 09:40 AM

From pape comment form commented on 11/18 at 11:56 AM
Expand WiFi hubs and provide more intimate areas for use.

More computers with search catalogs throughout the shelf spaces.
From Middle School commented on 11/19 at 08:21 AM
The computers are fine and I feel we don’t need any new ones. I think software is ok. I would rather see there be more books than more computers.
From Middle School commented on 11/19 at 08:28 AM
Computers in the teen section not in the childrens and adult section. Chairs with iPod connections so we can plug our iPods in to the chairs if they have speakers.
From Middle School commented on 11/19 at 08:33 AM
More computers or a game place.

Upgrade all computers to Windows 7 and add checkoutable laptops.
From Middle School commented on 11/19 at 06:29 PM
Maybe not video games because then it might take away some kid’s study time. More computers just for teens would be good.
From Middle School commented on 11/19 at 06:39 PM
New Mac computers, laptops in study places, music.
From Middle School commented on 11/19 at 06:45 PM
You should maybe get more computers because sometimes you need to use the computer for homework but other kids just like playing games.

A more accurate computer library catalog search would be nice - sometimes it says books are in when they aren’t.
From High School commented on 11/21 at 08:35 PM
More computers available just for homework and maybe you could clean your DVDs because they are always scratched.

From High School commented on 11/21 at 08:52 PM
More computers to check out alone.
Besty commented on 11/22 at 04:46 PM
The present computer area is one of the most heavily used areas of the Library. I think it is unfortunate that is is located in the very exposed, central open core of the building. The space and the furnishings are not conducive to the efficient configuration of machines and its central location contributes greatly to an atmosphere of commotion in the Library. People have to pass through the area to reach most of the collections and study areas and its presence has overshadowed and possibly discouraged the professional reference services also available at the Information Desk. I think an actual Computer Center - designed to accommodate many computers, out of the mainstream traffic, where noise and commotion are expected, where classes can be efficiently taught - is what’s urgently called for.
JHHS commented on 11/22 at 04:47 PM
I enjoy my personal space in a cubicle - the feel of being in a library.
Climb commented on 11/22 at 04:48 PM
Computer space to be more separated with north facing windows.
paper comment commented on 11/22 at 04:50 PM
Also I think this area should be in a quiet zone. In a row like a school room no across from someone else. I hate when people sit across from you and just keep looking at you - this doesn’t happen always, but a lot.
JHHS commented on 11/22 at 04:50 PM
updated computers, more computers.
JHHS commented on 11/22 at 04:50 PM

Yes, however, some Macs would be nice and the PCs as well.
JHHS commented on 11/22 at 04:52 PM
I think that the technology is a fine spot not much needed to be changed.
JHHS commented on 11/22 at 04:52 PM
Well, personally, get more computers and more space.

JHHS commented on 11/22 at 04:55 PM
I don’t see why the middle school has Mac computers and wee have Dell.
JHHS commented on 11/22 at 04:56 PM
You should add a few more computers. Give one section for games and hanging out and one section for research and homework.
paper comment commented on 11/22 at 08:42 PM
