The library’s multimedia studio opened in 2006 and is completing its third academic year of service. We’d like to know how we’re doing and what we can do to improve how the media studio serves the Pacific community.

If you’ve ever used the media studio for any type of project, please help us out by taking a very short survey about your experiences.  The survey can be found here:
