Miles-Smith:
Information Commons
Located in the Miles-Smith
section of the library, the Information Commons offers easy access
to online resources and state-of-the-art hardware and software
programs as well as all requisite support services.
The Information Commons
contains more than 40 high-end computers arranged in clusters
and includes stations for group project work, individual workstations
with standard office and instructional software, large-format
plasma screens for group work, and standup stations for quick
checks of email and the library catalog, as well as scanners and
laser printers, including a color printer. A diagnostic center,
staffed by lab consultants, offers onsite technology support and
help troubleshooting problems with personal computers. And trained
student tech mentors provide one-on-one help, by appointment,
if someone wants technological instruction.
Data connections in
the Information Commons provide 10/100 Ethernet connectivity.
Wireless access is available for those users who bring their own
laptops to this area or who have checked out a laptop from the
circulation desk.
