Statement of Purpose and General Terms of Use
The Sharon A. Fordham Multimedia Lab, based at the Douglass Library, has twelve computers intended for both the creation and manipulation of multimedia projects. It is a library resource, intended for use by members of the Rutgers University Community including students, faculty, administrators and staff. The lab is not an instructional space, cannot be reserved for ongoing classes, and is not configured to support instruction sessions for classes. It is a lab for individual users to create multimedia projects and materials in support of the academic programs at Rutgers University.
Recognizing that the lab is a shared resource for the Rutgers community, and that working with digital multimedia materials requires extraordinary computing and time resources, Rutgers University Libraries has developed specific policies and guidelines to help ensure access to these resources to the broader community as necessary. These specific guidelines include the Sharon A. Fordham Multimedia Lab User Responsibilities [PDF], and the Rutgers University Libraries Copyright and Fair Use Statement [PDF] which are available for review at the lab, upon request and online.

A Thank You to Sharon A. Fordham
The Libraries and the University community are indebted to Sharon A. Fordham, DC´75 for making our shared vision of the library of the 21st century come true. Information technology and media are offering new ways to transform how research is done and how students learn and work. In this transformative process, libraries are no longer just archives of what’s been created, but places where creation takes place, the results preserved, and then subsequently built upon — a real collaborative research and learning environment.
While our imagination for this lab started with music and the performing arts media intensive disciplines themselves — Sharon encouraged us to think more broadly, as multimedia will affect every discipline and all forms of research and learning into the future.
The result of our collaboration is a wonderful space where that transformation takes place every day a place where faculty and students use multimedia to conceptualize and create new works. Sharon has helped make that happen, and the Rutgers community is grateful that she chose her alma mater as the place to turn a vision into reality.
