Listen "7. Listening to the Library"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the W.E.B Du Bois Library, the 26-floor tower in the center of the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus.
Depictions of libraries usually include quiet reading and a shushing librarian, but UMass students ensure that the library is always loud. In this episode of It Happened in Amherst, Emilee Klein takes a ride down the elevator of the W.E.B Du Bois Library, traveling through time in the archives into the future of open access education. Throughout the tour, Klein finds that the symbol of UMass represents more than just the university.
