Lessons in Ethnography
18/04/2012 § 14 Comments
This semester at the University of North Texas I am taking SLIS 5445, History and Culture of Youth Services. A good portion of the class has focused on ethnography and its application in youth services. I won't pretend to be an expert on this type of study and fieldwork. However, I want to share some things I've learned about ethnography, how I find it to be a helpful framework for needs assessment and how it's helped me further define my personal approach to library service.
Merriam-Webster Online defines "ethnography" as "the study and systematic recording of human cultures." I was familiar with ethnography when I entered the course, but only in the context of ethnomusicology and people like Alan Lomax. I could totally understand why someone like Lomax traveled to remote locales to record and document ballads and work songs in the 1930s–but I couldn't quite understand how these practices translated to me as a modern day library school student working with children and teens. I came to realize that Lomax had a passion for American folk culture and couldn't have done his field justice without going directly to the folk to capture their songs, stories and dances to share with his colleagues and the general public.
Libraries exist to serve a community of patrons. Just as Lomax couldn't sit behind a desk and discover folk culture–we can't sit behind a desk and understand the communities we aim to serve as librarians. Stepping out into the community to document and observe it allows us to organically discover the thoughts, behaviors, feelings, practices, customs and needs of the community and apply them to the services we provide.
My professor assigned the class a fieldwork project to give us a small taste of ethnography in practice. We were tasked with identifying a community of youth and interacting with that community (through interviews and observation) to answer a central question. I interviewed five teens across the country to gather insights around the question, "What do teens do online in their free time?" I also asked my subjects to keep a log of their internet activity for a day for future analysis.
This project gave me a great sense of how teens approach online activity and yielded takeaways for teen library service surrounding mobile use, chatting, media (i.e. music, video), and social media. My findings are not revolutionary–but the process of gathering this info directly from teens has helped me connect the dots between the literature and research that exists and my own service philosophy and practices.
As Celia's recent blog on service learning points out–there is tremendous professional value in going out into the field and getting our hands dirty. Ethnographic study and fieldwork can help us with library service in a similar way–it's another intersection for theory and practice. We can't just depend on the data, trends and research reported by others to give us an accurate view of the people we serve. Taking a deep dive into the culture of our community can help us appreciate and understand the people we work for while providing on-target, authentic service.
How has fieldwork and/or observation informed the service you provide to patrons (or your theories on service)? Have you explored ethnography in any of your library school coursework? I'd love to hear about your experiences.
§ 14 Responses to Lessons in Ethnography
It is a great class with lots to takeaway and apply in practice–I'm sure your anthropology background will serve you well in the library world.
[...] on Hack Library School about ethnography's utility for studies in libraries. Ashley Wescott writes, there is tremendous professional value in going out into the field and getting our hands dirty. [...]
Absolutely, agreed. I would like to see us take it even a step further than ethnography toward participatory research: including those community members throughout the research process starting with developing scope and questions and potentially ending with determining uses and actions related to outcomes. This is already a major part of health research, oft-termed community-based participatory research, and it's made some appearances in the library community as well. Myrna Morales discussed this in her article "Community Based Participatory Research" in Synergy: News from ARL Diversity Programs (p. 5).
Sorry forgot to include the article! It's available here: http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/synergy1011.pdf.
Rebecca, I agree that I would make a lot of sense to let the community inform the scope and nature of our research. It helps address the issue of "not knowing what you don't know." I'll definitely check out the Morales article. Thanks for joining the conversation.
I'm a budding independent enthnographer, and it will be 2 years May 2012 that I've started and used qualitative ethnographic observation and participatory research methods to uncover a major theme relative to small southern rural community's cultural change..
Thus I'm in total agreement with ethnography research efforts that dig in and gets our hands dirty. Call it what you will, participatory research along with observation and interviewing locals is the way to go.
I like this discussion and will return. Happy hunting fellow ethnographers!
[...] Ashley's previous post on ethnography got me thinking about a topic that has been buzzing around in my mind–the importance of context for information and for learning. While Ashley focused on learning the tools of a different discipline, anthropology, for direct use in librarianship (i.e., librarian as ethnographer), I wonder how much can be expected of librarians in terms of knowledge about the communities and knowledge contexts in which they work. After all, information and learning carry little meaning out of context, and librarians certainly deal with information in very concrete situations with discrete users, questions, and fields of knowledge.

Depression and the Stress Response System, Part II
By Ruth Werner, LMP, NCTMB, Massage Therapy Foundation President
Dear Readers:
Last time, I provided some basic information about depression, including some of its contributing factors, and its relationship to stress and touch deprivation (www.massagetoday.com/archives/2003/08/10.html).This time, I will present some basic information about signs, symptoms and different types of depression.
Signs and Symptoms of Depression
The signs and symptoms of depression depend on the type from which a person suffers. Most patients suffering from depression share six leading symptoms: a persistent sad or "empty" feeling; decreased enjoyment from usual activities and hobbies, including sex; a deep sense of guilt or disappointment with oneself; a feeling of hopelessness - that things will never get better; irritability; and a change in sleeping habits, either extreme fatigue or insomnia. Other signs and symptoms can include a diminished ability to concentrate; changes in weight (either loss or gain); a lack of energy; feelings of helplessness; persistent physical pain (i.e., headaches, digestive discomfort, etc.) that remains unresponsive to treatment; and, of course, suicidal thoughts or attempts.
Types of Depression
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) has officially recognized at least eight etiologically distinct types of depression. Five types are relatively common:
The most obvious and serious complication of depression is suicide. Up to 15 percent of people suffering from major depression commit suicide. In addition to the suicide risk, a history of depression has been found to have a statistical correlation to other conditions, notably heart attack and other forms of cardiovascular disease. Although the cause-and-effect relationship between depression and cardiovascular disease has not yet been established, an obvious connection can be made between depression and heart disease in terms of physical manifestations of long-term stress.
Next time I'll talk about treatment options, and the role of massage in working with depressive clients.
Until then, many thanks and many blessings.

Perfect toddler shoe
My daughter (2) loves her "cocs" and I love this crocs too. I had no problem with the size or width. She started using them with the strap on the back at the beginning of the summer and now that her feet grew about one size she can use them placing the strap on the front.

I love these crocs! I would recommend getting 1 size bigger. The crocs look big on my daughter but she says they are not and she can run very quickly with these shoes.. my daughter hardly wears anything else and they are so easy to put on and take off. These are wonderful for children and very practical for adults

Inconsistent sizing
While I love the color combinations of the Electro, I will have to agree with other reviewers that the sizing is a bit off because of the strap being shorter than in other styles. I have looked beyond that and have ordered multiple pairs in various sizes to keep up with my growing toddler. I do most of my Crocs shopping online as I live overseas and was disappointed when I discovered that the size 7 and size 8 appear to be the SAME SIZE! I thought my daughter was just being temperamental when she said it was hurting her toes as I knew I changed out for the bigger size but when I put them against each other there was no difference between the two. So I ordered the size 9 knowing that she is nowhere near a size 9 but hoping with the shorter strap it would work out. Sadly it's too big and now she is without her favorite Crocs and I'm stuck a pair of size 8 that she can't use and I can't return because they are worn.

You can take several steps to reduce your risk of developing cirrhosis.
Abstain from Alcohol
Alcohol abuse is the most common cause of cirrhosis in the US. Not all people who abuse alcohol develop cirrhosis.
Your chance of developing alcohol-related cirrhosis increases with:
- The more you drink at each episode
- If you drink frequently
Abstain from Tobacco
Our liver is the target of many cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco. It is known that people with cirrhosis are at an increased risk of developing liver cancer, which is increased with smoking . Smoking also causes lung disease. This can lead to low oxygen levels in the body. People with low body oxygen have an increased risk of dying after a liver transplant .
Reduce Your Risk of Contracting Hepatitis
Hepatitis B and hepatitis C can be transmitted sexually. To reduce your risk of infection, practice safe sex. This means that men should always use a condom during sexual activity and intercourse. If you are a woman, you should require your partner to use a condom even if you are using birth control pills.
Hepatitis B and C can be transmitted through blood products and through use of contaminated needles and syringes. Avoid using IV drugs. If you do use these drugs, do not share needles or syringes with anyone.
Ask your doctor if you should get vaccinated against hepatitis B.
Ask About Medications
Certain prescription medicines can have toxic effects on the liver that vary from person to person. If you are taking these medications, follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Be sure to have any recommended tests prior to starting the medication and throughout the course of treatment. These tests can help determine whether the drug is damaging your liver.
Screen for Genetic Disease
Once you know that you have a genetic cause of your liver disease, ask your doctor to screen your immediate family.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Obesity is a major cause of liver disease. Eating a healthy diet and getting appropriate exercise are two important steps anyone can take that will reduce the risk for chronic liver disease.

Lavish Lashes Professional Eyelash Extensions are for professional use only, and must be applied by someone trained and certified in applying eyelash extensions. Before purchasing this service, make sure your eyelash extension professional is certified by Lavish Lashes to ensure the highest level of quality training. Applying professional eyelash extensions to your own lashes is difficult and may result in discomfort or injury.
Lavish Lashes Professional Eyelash Extensions are semi-permanent, lasting 4-6 weeks depending on the life cycle of your own natural lashes and other factors. Though the average cycle of a single lash is about 90 days, factors such as your eyelash characteristics, lifestyle, and general care of your lashes will affect how your Lavish Lashes last.
If you look up close you can see that these individually applied synthetic eyelashes actually appear to have a root. If you would like to a larger version simply click on the image. They have a natural looking curve so there is no need to use eyelash curlers. Eyelash Extensions come in various lengths, colors and thicknesses to create a beautiful and natural look. Brilliant colors such as blue and green are very popular and help to accentuate the natural beauty and color of one' natural eye color and natural lashes.
When professionally and properly applied, you cannot feel any difference after having your lashes enhanced with Lavish Lashes Professional Eyelash Extensions. If you do feel a difference then your lashes were not properly applied, and you need to contact your professional.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

Solo girls kind of scenes can be pretty bored, because they just stare there and it's difficult to see too much action especially in Asian girls, but this one is so hot that It's impossible not to watch it and dig it. Ai Kurosawa is one sexy thing, a natural busty from Japan with the perfect nipples and a totally hot hairy pussy. So watch this masturbation scene with Ai putting an enormous vibrator in her pussy. Just relax and enjoy the view.
Ai is an Asian model who really gets into showing off her body. She works in the upstairs shop and gets her pictures taken regularly. This time she was relating a story to us in the bar. She got too hot and decided to take off her clothes and the photog was still snapping away??¦She then brought out her portfolio and was showing it to us. She has an incredible ass and we all told her she needs to change careers and come down to the club and work as a topless waitress a few nights a week. She would definitely be into loads of money then!
Pretty Asian secretary enjoys her job when she gets to model for the office. She does all their clothing shots for them. She has a nice full set of tits and a nice hairy pussy that gets a good work out after she is done modeling. She likes taking on several guys at the same time just for the fun of it. It is interesting to see her pictures when she brings them in to show all her hard work before putting them on the web. I have been trying to talk her into working for us and bartending so she can show off those nice tits and really get attention she deserves!
Ai enjoys her job as a teacher during the day. At night she is a model for sexy lingerie and she is enjoyed very much. She has lots of guys who want to date her but she is only interested in the money right now since she is furthering her education. She wants to be a college teacher so she needs more credits to her learning to teach the big. If she needs to change her profession, she can always be a stripper!
Naughty Ai is an Asian model who enjoys her shower. I got to check out hesr hot body when she was showering thanks to a sneak with a web cam! She has a nice set of tits that she really enjoys playing with when they are all wet. She also enjoys her hot pussy the same way, all soapy and slick. She is a model in the clothes shop upstairs and a part time waitress here in the club. When she came in to work all the guys were flirting with her because they had seen the video as well! It was an interesting day for her trying to figure out how she was so popular all of a sudden!
If you´re into hot milf babes with a nice hairy cunt and a busty body, you will definitely dig this hottie Ai Kurosawa. This chick is looking as hot as ever in these upskirts pics with her sexy short skirt on and her black stockings with sexy lingerie. Here you will see this getting straight to the action by spreading her legs wide open and receiving sexy toys inside her cunt. You will see lots of cock sucking, doggy-style and cum on legs!
Ai Kurosawa is a hot milf, and today she´s hungry for some dick riding. She is s natural busty with the cutest small nipples, has a nice ass and a really pretty smile and of course she loves a nice cunt licking. And this guy is so horny that he will satisfy every one of her wishes, even the more kinkiest. Here you will see this getting lots of hardcore action with sex toys, a vibrator in her tits and pussy and of course a nice fucking and finishing up with the cum on boobs.
This hot milf Ai Kurosawa has everything that a guy could ever want from a woman and here she is looking as hot as ever in her sexy lingerie and pink stocking. This hottie starts off by doing some really hot posing and then the busty babe wastes no time at all by pulling out her sexy toys, dick sucking and having really hot masturation where she moans and screams like most solo girls out there that don´t need cock to get them off.
When she isn´t nude modeling and getting her perfect naked body photographed this Asian doll is building up her web site and adding her secret shots and latest photos to sell. She is a computer programmer in the hotel´s office and the modeling is done on the side. She makes a good living at her first job but the second one is a lot more fun!And she is getting to be a famous face too!
Have a look at this hot milf Ai Kurosawa, here you will see this girl in a deep while wearing her sexy lingerie and you will see a group of guys approaching her and feeling out her hot body with tit squeezing, tit licking and fingering while has a cameltoe. This babe gets so excited after the cunt licking that she does some amazing double cock sucking and then she gets hammered doggy-style and gets cum on face.

2010 staff awards
Published: Tuesday, May 17, 2011
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 21:07
The Battalion received the Sweepstakes Award for the first time at the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association against eight other universities in the division, including Big 12 rivals Baylor and Texas Tech. The Battalion team received awards in most of the categories at the convention April 2 in Fort Worth, Texas. The Battalion is a part of Division 1 that includes newspapers that are published three or more times per week.
Amanda Casanova, 2009-2010 Battalion editor-in-chief, said the recognition is evidence of a team that cares about the newspaper's quality and topics that interest the student body. "I think the award is a testament to the dedication of the staff," she said. "We were not chasing an award, but it's a great thing for us to be proud of."
The Sweepstakes Award is presented in each newspaper division and is based on point accumulation in the individual and overall contests. The Battalion led its division with a total of 71 points. Categories included editorial, in-depth reporting, news photo, page one design and others.
"I have always boasted about this staff, and I'm glad to see other people recognizing them for their superb work. It was a great honor to receive the prestigious sweepstakes award for The Battalion's first time," 2010-2011 Battalion editor in chief, Matthew Woolbright said. "Amanda started our campaign on the right foot and we were able to continue the excellence. I'm excited to see this team continue to get accolades for their skills and efforts; these individuals are destined for greatness."
Two staff members received national recognition for individual design work in the Associated Collegiate Press 2010 Newspaper Pacemaker Award. JD Swiger and Evan Andrews were awarded for their design work on Page One, Implications of Social Networking. The Design of the Year competition, honoring visual excellence in the college press, is co-sponsored by Adobe Systems. First Place winners received free Adobe software.

By the 1880s Congress considered a canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans essential for commerce and defense, but disagreements about its location became a "Battle of the Routes." Senator John Tyler Morgan of Alabama, head of the Committee on Inter-Oceanic Canals, wanted it in Nicaragua, near southern U.S. ports. Senator Mark Hanna of Ohio wanted to complete a canal in Panama begun by a French company. In 1904, after the U.S. militarily supported Panama's independence from Colombia, the Senate approved a canal treaty with Panama.

Substance abuse psychologists provide counseling and services to patients suffering from substance abuse and chemical dependency issues, including alcoholism and drug addiction. They help patients manage the effects of withdrawal, especially anxiety and depression, and determine the root causes for their addiction. Substance abuse psychologists collaborate with other healthcare professionals create a comprehensive program for a patient's recovery. Psychologists in other branches or subfields of psychology also address the issue of substance abuse. For example, health and rehabilitation psychologists may develop and otherwise be involved with public programs designed to prevent and educate people about substance abuse.
Practicing psychologists must hold a master's, specialist, or doctoral degree in psychology and be state-licensed or certified. Specific licensing or certification requirements will vary by state. Substance abuse psychology, addiction and recovery, or substance abuse treatment may be offered as a specialization or concentration within a general or clinical psychology degree program at the undergraduate or graduate level. Coursework in a degree program with an emphasis on substance abuse may include classes in developmental psychology, psychopharmacology, and the psychology of addiction. Students or practicing professionals may pursue additional certification in pharmacology, the biomedical foundations of chemical dependency, counseling techniques, and/or models for treatment.

I think she's been inj/sick and packed with the FM front-five today.
Some odd things happened between the two Org's (NXN/FL) races. You have to wonder about how some were recruited to which particular race (I think I saw one sandbagger out there)?
Could Cain have run @VCP today if she wanted to or is that out of her hands now? A few really good kids apparently didn't race at all.
While it looks like the talent edge goes to NXN I guess it depends on how much FL values having Baxter in its race who would certainly be favored over "Little Mary."
looks like Mary ran just to win!!
Whether she has the chops to do that against a more talented (Neale, Frazier, Knight et. al) field is to be determined. But it would be nice if there was one race (not both).
Hope I won't have to eat my words, but with PR's of 2:03.34 and 4:11.01, I don't see ANY current HS'er who can challenge Mary Cain!!
Sarah Baxter, off her 16:00 at Mt SAC recently, might have markedly improved.
If so, when she goes to the track, she might go under 4:15 for 1500 and 10:00 for 2 miles.....but she hasn't yet!!
Others might run some good times when indoor season rolls around.
(CC times are hard to compare...or rate!)
Mary is MILES (pun intended!! ) ahead of the chase pack.....now.

At this year's GDC, I went to a talk by John Hable of Naughty Dog, and he showed a slide very much like this. I subsequently reproduced it in our game engine here at Sucker Punch. It's a real eye-opener about the importance of gamma correction.
Both images here are using a bog-standard ambient + Lambert diffuse + Blinn specular lighting model. The difference is that on the left, we are ignoring gamma altogether, which means we're effectively doing our lighting computation in gamma space, which is physically incorrect. On the right, we apply inverse gamma to all the light levels and colors to convert them into linear space, then do the lighting, and then convert the result back into gamma space.
As you can see, it makes an enormous difference for the specular highlight. Lighting in gamma space (the left) causes the spec highlight to take on the color of the underlying surface somewhat, creating the odd-looking ring where the green channel saturates but the red and blue channels are still catching up. In linear space (the right) the green interpolates to white much more cleanly. The diffuse shadow line is also crisper in the gamma-correct version.
These images used the sRGB gamma curve, which is implemented in hardware on many GPUs, including the PS3's RSX. (The X360's Xenos GPU also supports hardware gamma encoding/decoding, but with a slightly different curve.) The hardware gamma correction is quite fast, so lighting in linear space needn't be a performance hit even in a real game.
If I'm not mistaken, many renderers out there ignore gamma issues altogether, or perhaps just provide a single gamma slider to adjust things at the end after all rendering is performed. This screenshot is, I hope, motivation enough to start paying attention to gamma in your own renderer! While I can't show any screenshots, it certainly has had a positive effect on the overall lighting quality of our upcoming game.

Laboratory workstations come in a selection of configurations. Features like chemical-resistant surfaces, strict adherence to inflammability codes and low-maintenance materials make them highly safe. From eye-wash stations to instructors' desks, your department will get an "A" for professionalism with lab stations from Hertz Furniture.
Depending on the arrangement of your space and the sizes of classes, you can choose from a selection of two- and four-student workstations. Both of these setups are conducive to working with lab partners. The four-student arrangement provides the additional possibility of working in a larger group of four when supplies are limited or the experiment requires larger groups to work together. Two-student models are forward facing, which is conducive to frontal instruction and demonstrations as well as independent experimentation. The four-student option comes in a number of arrangements including forward-facing and octagonal.
The configuration of laboratory workstations varies as well. Freestanding islands can fit anywhere in the classroom. They are a great option if you have a large open space because they make it easy for students to observe their own experiments from all angles. Perimeter workstations utilize wall space so the middle of the room is more open. To fit the maximum amount of workstations in your science lab, you may choose a combination of freestanding and perimeter units.
A critical feature of any counter or table in a science lab is the work surface material. Because experiments involving chemicals and heat are constantly being conducted, it is essential that the surface and sink material will not become easily damaged by extreme conditions. Heat- and chemical-resistant tops come in varying degrees of strength, so it is important to pay close attention to which materials are available when making a purchase for your science lab.
Built-in storage is a great extra feature to have in your lab workstations. Each unit can be kept fully-stocked to ensure that every pair of lab partners can find what they need for experiments. Storage comes in a number of different styles including book boxes, drawers and cabinets. Cabinets are good for larger items such as microscopes, while drawers are helpful for organizing smaller accessories such as pipettes and tweezers.
There are many extra pieces of lab furniture that can greatly enhance the experience of both teachers and students. Mobile demonstration centers can be moved around the room to ensure that all students have a good view, no matter where they are sitting or standing. They enable instructors to model correct experimentation methods while providing instructions or explanations using the attached whiteboard.
Mobile fume hoods offer an additional option for experiment demonstration. They enable students to observe physical changes while remaining protected from fumes and chemicals. They can be transported around the room to ensure that everyone gets a good view, or moved between different science labs as needed.
There are a number of additional pieces that can enhance lab safety and organization. Shower and eyewash stations are readily available for use in the unlikely event that they are needed. It is essential to furnish your lab with these pieces in order to ensure that students are properly protected at all times. We also have lab cleanup sinks which provide an extra space for students to wash up and clean experiment tools at the end of class.
Hertz Furniture's selection of functional and safe laboratory furniture includes everything you need to furnish any student science lab. Our lab equipment comes from companies that specialize in school laboratory furniture including Diversified Woodcrafts and Stevens Industries. Planning out the arrangement for a science lab can be quite tricky and complicated. The Hertz Design Center is here to help you determine the optimal configuration for your space.

Science lab furniture requires extra durability. When students are working with tough materials, you need to ensure that an accidental spill won't ruin your lab tables or workstations. With specially-designed products from Diversified Wood Crafts, students can enjoy the full range of educational experiments without fear of damage to equipment.
To start with, students need an appropriate work surface in order to take notes, record data, and arrange experiments. Lab tables are specially designed to be functional during both frontal instruction and experiments. Diversified Woodcrafts offers three different kinds of tabletops, so you can choose the material that will support mediums your students will be working with. From basic High-Pressure Laminate to more durable ChemGuard, and finally ultra-tough Solid Epoxy Resin, you can find the ideal material for your work environment.
In addition to the work surface material of your science lab tables, you also need to choose the ideal configuration. While the two-student lab table provides maximum flexibility in terms of arrangement, lab workstations are another viable option. Workstations come in both two- and four-student models so you can maximize classroom space and enable students to work in larger groups. However, if your science classroom hosts a lot of frontal lessons, forward-facing workstations are ideal because no teacher wants to speak to students' backs.
Lab stations also have the additional benefit of a built-in lab sink. With water and gas fixtures readily-available to each small group of students, it is easier to conduct experiments independently and efficiently. Ultimately, the right choice between laboratory tables and lab workstations will depend on what they are being used for and what a school's science furniture budget is.
For those who opt out of the workstation option, it is still necessary to furnish the experiment space with lab sinks. Rather than having them as part of student workspaces, you can simply install a few laboratory sinks around the science classroom. Like work surfaces, lab sinks should be extra durable so they won't get damaged by chemicals and other harsh substances.
If your school doesn't have a designated science lab, or your instructors want a way to transport experiments without lifting sensitive materials, mobile labs can really come in handy. These freestanding units roll into position on large casters and can be locked into place for secure standing. With mobile labs any study space can be instantly transformed into a functional hands-on science classroom.
In addition to the basic must-haves, you might want to consider some extra science lab furniture from Diversified Woodcrafts. It is always good to have some storage space in the lab so you can keep microscopes, pipettes, petri dishes and other experiment materials close at hand. We have wall-mounted and freestanding cabinets with either opaque or glass doors. There are also special microscope storage cabinets which protect your valuable equipment.
Hertz Furniture brings you top of the line science furniture from Diversified Woodcrafts. This functional lab furniture comes with a complimentary Limited Lifetime Warranty which guarantees you many years of worry-free use. Figuring out the ideal arrangement for a science lab can be quite complicated, that's why the Hertz Design Center is here to help you with free design and project-planning advice. With excellent science furniture, you can start to inspire the doctors, engineers and scientists of tomorrow.
