Richardson Library Information Commons may just help. Shaped like the letter D with a large flatscreen attached at one end and called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.steelcase.com\/en\/products\/category\/educational\/technology-visual\/mediascape\/pages\/overview.aspx\">media:scape<\/a>,&#8221; the tables were specifically designed to help groups of people share information quickly, and, most uniquely, equally. Equal sharing of information comes into play with the so-called &#8220;puck&#8221; system, essentially small discs with cords attached that connect different computers or tablets to the shared screen.<\/p>\n<p>By simply tapping a puck, a group member can project their desktop on the shared screen, or, in the case of a double screen set up, share their data side-by-side with another participant. A detailed description of the different media:scape table types we currently offer can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/libguides.depaul.edu\/c.php?g=253639&amp;p=1690633\">here<\/a>, including information on a new room of tables called the <a href=\"http:\/\/library.depaul.edu\/services\/Pages\/Scholars-Lab.aspx\">Scholar&#8217;s Lab<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We invite you to try out a media:scape table in the John T.
