Library Computer Lab - room 206
A computer lab with sixteen student workstations and a teacher station for projecting from a laptop computer is available in the library. This room was developed to meet a need for students who require computer and printing access while on campus, outside of regular computer classroom time. Library instruction sessions are scheduled in this room when faculty members request them. This room may be reserved by faculty members assigned to a regular lecture hall that needs their students to experience one hands-on session during a term for a special assignment. Reserve this room by contacting our Reference/Instruction Librarian, Charlotte Widomski.
