In a last ditch effort to find a solid topic, I have come to Willy T. Young library's official page contained within the University of Kentucky catalog of libraries' website. The exact page can be found here: http://libraries.uky.edu/libpage.php?lweb_id=1021&llib_id=14
This webpage gives all the information that one would ever want or need in regards to Willy T. For the sake of typing, I won't list every single thing that the website goes over, however I will hit the most pivotal and interesting sections of the site. One of the biggest draws to Willy T. is manifested in the form of "The Hub". The Hub is located in the basement of the library and is a dedicated study area that hosts IT support, complete with over 200 computers and its own Mac lab. If you go up a couple floors you will find yourself at The Writing Center. The Writing Center is a place for students to go if they need help writing a paper or with any aspect of their writing. Lastly, what is studying if you don't have any food to hold you down? Willie T. offers many snack options in Starbucks and Ovid's Cafe.
Very informative webpage, I received a lot more concise information than I had from other sources about some of my previous topics. I wonder who proposed the building of Willy T. and how it came to become the social and academic center of the university. Who proposed Starbucks and Ovid's? How did the writing center come about; Was it around before the completion of Willy T? I don't know but I guess I'll eventually find out.
Isaac, you do a very nice job in your summaries and your reflections on these last 3 blog posts. In your reflections, make sure to add something about how you might use the source in a documentary. You could also mention that this source is just a starting point, but that you hope it will lead you to future sources that you could actually include in a documentary.
