Falk Library’s touchscreen monitors allow you to display content on a large scale, have a second monitor to aid you in your workflow, or take notes on a digital screen that can be edited, saved to your account, or shared with others.
Library Group Study Rooms are equipped with LG CreateBoard TVs.
LG CreateBoard TVs are mounted in each of the Group Study Rooms within Falk Library. These displays can be used as a touchscreen monitor for the PCs available in the room, or they can be connected to your own device via HDMI. You can display your content and then use the provided stylus to highlight, edit, or take notes. The CreateBoard TVs also have a whiteboard function where you can take notes on a blank screen in multiple colors and styles.
Second monitor stations are available on the Main Floor of the library.
There are several locations in the library where you can log into a PC and have the option of using two monitors to display your content.
There are also two stations on the Main Floor of the library where you can connect your own device to a second monitor. A few of these monitors are Wacom Cintiq Tablets that allow writing and drawing in fine detail with the Wacom Pro Pen 2, available for borrowing at the library’s Main Desk.
More interactive touchscreen displays are coming soon to Falk Library.
LG CreateBoards are being added to the library’s Consultation Rooms. The touchscreen possibilities mentioned above will now be available in all library group study spaces.
New ViewSonic 24” Touch Displays will soon be available to borrow for up to 4 hours from the Falk Library Main Desk. You can set up one of these displays in your favorite study space and use it as a second monitor that also has touchscreen capabilities.
Much more technology equipment is available at Falk Library for walk-up use or for borrowing with a valid Pitt ID. Please reference the library’s technology page or visit the library’s Main Desk to keep up to date with what technology is available.
