More Computers --


(So, tell us what you really think…!!!)


Just kidding :) -- We’ve heard this particular wish before and hope to have some answers that address your concerns.

The quick answer is we hope to have additional computers in the Library shortly. There are plans to add a computing lab on the 2nd floor that will be used exclusively for academic purposes. Keep an eye out for more details come Spring 2011!

Also, please remember that if you’re having difficulty finding computers for academic work because “everyone is Facebooking & Game Playing” just ask for help at one of the service desks. You can check out our Wed, Nov 10th blog post which addresses similar concerns about our computer resources.

Other than that, it is unlikely we’ll be adding more computers to the public areas of the library. We now have 43 computer on the 1st floor, 12 on the 2nd (not including the 25 stations in the Information Literacy Classroom), 6 in the Math Lab, 8 in the Writing Center and 6 laptops for checkout: 100 computers in all! For a library our size with our current staff, that’s quite a lot of technology (not to mention users) to manage!

And so, with the computers we have, those we plan on adding, and a bit of staff intervention, is your wish met???
