If you ever need to record anything and upload it to a computer, you now need to look no further
than the Hardin Library for the Health Sciences. Recently, a stereo digital audio recorder was purchased for the library. It is kept in the Info Commons East and can be rented out for a maximum of 3 days.
This semester, the Hardin Library for the Health Sciences will begin offering “drop-in” help sessions for wireless 
devices such as PDAs, Smartphones, iPhones, and iTouches. The Hardin Library will help patrons set up their devices for wireless, as well as help them access library subscriptions to PDA resources.
The help sessions will be every Friday from 10am-2pm in the Information Commons East.
Although the help will always be available if patrons need it, individuals that need a lot of help, or would like their devices completely configured for them, should plan to stop by on Fridays.
A library guide to accessing wireless device resources can be found at:
