ITS and the Thompson Library are pleased to announce the addition of 51 open computer stations in the Library. The Library Open Computing Lab originally opened in July 2003 with 24 computer stations. The seventy-five (75) workstations on all three floors offer a full set of ITS lab applications. Users may also access the Thompson Library’s homepage and its resources from these computers. Networked printing is located on each floor. These workstations help students make optimum use of both ITS software and library resources—including library staff.
