Technology in the Library

The �ǿմ�ý Libraries offer many services and a variety of equipment to help faculty, staff, students, and community members in their academic pursuits.

Computers & Study Spaces

There are over 300 computers, both PCs and Macs, located throughout the Guerrieri Academic Commons that are available for public use.

There are also numerous study spaces throughout the building. For quiet study, visitors can go to the reading areas located on the third floor along with our library general collection. The third floor reading rooms are designated quiet areas where talking above a whisper is not allowed, and they are isolated from the rest of the building so that as little sound gets through as possible. Note that there are very few computers in these areas (located in study carrels in the southwest corner of the building), so you may need to bring your own or check out a laptop from the Library Service Desk if you need a computer.

There are also study spaces located throughout the building on every floor that allow for casual conversation. You can grab a seat overlooking the atrium, or settle in near the café at one of the many bench seats.

If you would like a private study space for a group, there are 15 group study rooms in the building as well. The second floor study rooms can be reserved online, while the first floor rooms are available on a first come, first served basis. for study room locations.

Printing & Scanning

There are print release stations located throughout the building on every floor. For exact printer locations, or ask at the Library Service Desk or IT Help Desk (both located on the first floor). Community patrons

There are four scanning stations in the Academic Commons, two in each printing alcove on the first floor. These scanning stations allow you to scan using a flat bed or document feeder scanner. You can send your scans by email, save them to a flash drive, or upload them to OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox directly from the stations. You can also transfer them directly to your smartphone by scanning a QR code.

Please note that there are no copiers in the building. If you need to make printed copies, please scan your documents using our scanning stations. You can then print the scanned files from any computer in the building.
