The KC manager has introduced several innovations to communicate with the students in the KC. To overcome the limitations of static content that did not capture student attention and to enable dynamic updates of notices and videos, Android TV boxes were purchased and connected to the screens. The Android TV boxes were then connected to the UWC wifi architecture. This means that the screens can be controlled via a mobile device. Videos are streamed to the KC in this manner.
As of 2017, the Library has formed a video production committee to formulate and vet possible video concepts for the library. A successful example of this can be seen in the 2018 Orientation Video Series. The KC manager also sources relevant content to create a playlist that runs randomly on the plasma screens in the KC. The intention is to distribute plasma screens on all library levels. The Library YouTube channel is available from the Library website.
