New Computers in the Library

There are new computers in the library. The 18 computers in the reference area and the 18 computers in the library classroom/lab were upgraded over the summer to machines with 3 ghz pentium processors with 1 gb memory. These computers have DVD drives that will allow you to create CDs and DVDs; that feature will be enabled soon.

None of these computers have floppy drives! Please use flash memory sticks from now on. There are two USB ports on the front of each computer; these ports are easy to access. There are two portable floppy drives available for borrowing from the Circulation Desk on the first floor. These drives connect to the computer via the USB port.

Staircase Update

The staircase in the Library is being replaced because of some building code concerns. This replacement is being paid for out of the construction fund, and it will allow us to add a wood-themed staircase (please see the picture below). Installation is expected to be completed by October 4th. Please use the elevator across from the staircase until then, and thank you for your patience!
