InfoCommons Expanded
Dewey Library has expanded its InfoCommons!
What is the Info Commons? The three University Libraries and Information Technology Services (ITS) have entered into a partnership to provide access to your technology and information needs in the new InfoCommons areas at each library. The Information Commons areas provide a location with convenient access to both important research resources (traditionally provided by the libraries) and critical software and technology (traditionally provided by ITS).
How have we changed things at Dewey? Downstairs, we've added 16 new computers and additional tables and seating. The group study area, located in the peristyle, is also equipped with computer workstations.
All the new computers have the full complement of software that has been available on the main floor and at other locations on campus, including the full Microsoft Office suite, DreamWeaver, PhotoShop, SPSS, and a wide variety of other programs.
ITS consultants will be available at the Dewey Library to answer your technology questions on Monday through Thursdays from 4pm -8pm, and on Sundays from 12pm – 7pm during the summer sessions. Reference librarians will continue to be available to answer questions about research and library materials according to the summer reference schedule.
We hope this partnership will make the use of library and ITS resources more convenient for students and other members of the campus community, and that we will be better able to provide you with the assistance you need to use those resources.
As a result of the expansion of computer services at Dewey, the ITS User Room in the basement of Draper Hall is now closed.
