When not scheduled for instruction, Room 119 will remain unlocked for student use as a computer lab.

If you happen to see the room locked it’s probably scheduled for a librarian event.

Questions or think it should be opened? Feel free to ask Brad and he’ll check the schedule and let you know what’s going on.

Due to some required and critical updates that have to be done this morning, our EZ-Proxy server will be down for about one hour. This will render our databases unavailable from approximately 9:00am to 10:00am. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the updates are required to keep the system from going down on a more permanent basis.

Update: Database access both on campus and off has been restored. Any problems accessing any of our databases should be reported the Reference Desk. Visit “Ask A Librarian” for contact info.

We are quickly approaching the time of year where you may come into the Irwin Library Reference Lab and find that all the computers are full. Take heart! There are others available!

Room 119 in the Music and Fine Arts Reference area has eight more PCs that are available in the evenings and after any scheduled classes are done using the room that day. Those computers use the same printers as the other lab-type computers located around the library.

Printer Update #2

There is now a NEW printer in Reference. It’s a large industrial model that sits on the floor like the one in the Science Library. It holds 4,000 sheets at one time and the toner lasts about twice as long. It’s quieter than the other ones and faster (about 55 pages per minute one side), duplexes just fine and DOESN’T JAM! (At least, that’s the word on the street. I’ve already seen it printing a ton and no problems.)

Our smaller printers are made for office use, not the heavy use they receive here from all the students, so the industrial printer is a better solution all around.

They’re still testing the drivers to make sure we’ve got the best service possible, so for now the office computers and student laptops will print to the same smaller one as they’ve been doing for a few days now. All the lab computers, though, are going to the big new one. So far, all seems good.
