Entrance to the Information Commons:
This is the sight that greets each library user as they enter the Weigle Information Commons.

Vitale Digital Media Lab:
A cutting-edge lab where Penn students can come to work on their videos, web and graphic design projects, podcasts, and more. You'll also notice a few "hotspots" in the movie. For example, if you put your mouse on the door to the lab, you'll see a description right under the movie that says, "Lab entrance." Point to other things to see what equipment we have available in the lab.
