Reading Places

A place that I am all too familiar with is the Proctor Library.
Who is saying what to whom and through what medium?
Well, in the library it can be a few different things- mostly its students discussing school matters with other students or faculty, verbally. Other cases its students or faculty communicating via internet, email or instant chatting, assumingly about school business but about other matters as well. One can communicate with the librarians through the Flagler library system on any questions that arise about the library search engines or other library matters. Students and faculty communicate face to face in private offices on matters of their own academic standing and whatnot.
For what reason and with what effect?
People are communicating in the Proctor library for many different reasons, the main one being to get school work done and or discuss with a professor about school. The effect is different when over the internet then face to face. Discussing a problem or even any subject matter can be nerve-wracking for some people and they would rather discuss this through email. Sitting in front of a person, especially a professor or administrator is initimidating for some but for others, their thoughts and expressions come out more clearly when communicating face to face. Entering the Library is a bit intimidating itself. To me the library means a professional place where work is to be done and business is to be discussed.
