Please see the Grace Hauenstein Library web site for details on the library lab hours during the academic year.

All labs contain Intel Core 2 Duo computers with full multi-media capabilites:

The Technology Assistants (not to be confused with instructors, trainers, or tutors) are responsible for maintaining the efficient operation of the student computer labs. Their job is to give general procedural advice, to make sure that the computers and printers are working properly, to collect printing fees, and to direct students' access into the network.

In order to provide students with the maximum learning experience, the Technology Assistants are not allowed to help students with specific programs.  If a student is having trouble, the Technology Assistants will point them in the direction of help.

For discipline-specific applications, students will be referred to on-line documentation, manuals, and handouts.  Students will be able to use the lab phone to call their instructor.

As time permits and to the extent of their knowledge base, Technology Assistants may answer questions related to standard software applications on the network (such as Windows XP, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Office 2007), except when the learning of these standard software applications is a course requirement.

• Kiosks computers are located on the second floor of the Academic Building and in the Grace Hauenstein Library.  These computers give students quick access to the internet for checking email and searching the web.
