Technology Enhancements Offer Improved Vision and Mobility
Individuals who have attended a course or workshop in the Information Commons’ two classrooms will appreciate some recent upgrades. More than 50 big, bulky computer monitors have been exchanged for sleek, energy-efficient 17” flat panel displays. Crystal-sharp images practically fly off the screen! We say, "How can the learning experience be anything BUT improved when you have new jazzy monitors?" Our supportive partners at ITS Campus Services facilitated this much-needed infusion of equipment, paid for by Student Computing Fees.
In the Commons West flexible classroom, the two ceiling-mounted LCD projectors have been replaced with even smaller, brighter projectors. Think you’ve had Lazik surgery? No, its actually Sharp Notevision DLP technology.
Seven new Dell laptops are available for checkout at the Hardin Circulation Desk on the 3rd floor. These new laptops, with their customary wireless networking capability, are styled after campus ITC computers, which essentially means that they offer more software titles than ever before! Users will still need to have a Hawk-ID and password in order to access the wireless network within the building or elsewhere on campus.
Students, faculty members and staff are always welcome and encouraged to stop by the Information Commons service desks with any technical/technology questions. Our commitment to you: if we don’t know the answer, we’ll find someone who does.
