Libraries Get More Lab Computers

comments Comments Off on Libraries Get More Lab Computers
By , November 21, 2005 10:13 am

For those of you who have waited for a computer in the libraries
because they were all being used, the solution has arrived: More
Computers.

There are now 6 more lab computers in Irwin Library and 2 more in the
Ruth Lilly Science Library. At Irwin, we have spread them throughout
the building. Here are the locations:

  • One more in the Music & Fine Arts Reference area.
  • One in the basement by the newspapers.
  • One on the second floor in the A-D section.
  • One on the second floor in the E-HJ section.
  • One on the second floor in the M-N section.
  • One on the third floor in the P-PR section.

We hope this better facilitates your computer usage both as individuals and as groups.

Due to technical difficulties student access to Boco accounts (i.e., your file space on H:) is unavailable.

Information Resources was notified @ 6:25 PM, is aware of the problem,
and is hoping to have the problem fixed later tonight; or, at the very
least, no later than Monday 14 November.
