Two computer labs are located in Shain Library: the PC Classroom and the Davis Classroom. When not in use for scheduled instruction, both labs are available to current Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» students, faculty, and staff during open library hours. A schedule is posted outside each lab.
To find the number of computers and software available in each lab, see the Computer Lab Software page.
Policies
To reserve the use of the computer labs, contact Sharon Brouillard. Priority for use is given to library research or technology instruction, and courses that require use of a computer lab. Other campus workshops and programs may schedule a lab, but reservations may be preempted by course needs with sufficient notice.
Full semester scheduling for a class will be considered if the course requires use of unique hardware and software available in one of the labs; requests must be made through the Office of the Registrar. In order to ensure equitable use of the labs, flexibility may be required to accommodate courses needing the lab for single-use sessions.
A blackout period is in effect during the last two weeks of classes through finals — no non-course scheduling during this time. Requests to reserve labs for final exams must be initiated or approved by the Office of the Registrar.
If specific software needs to be installed in one of the Shain labs for your class, please submit an by June 1 for use in the fall semester and by November 1 for use in the spring semester. Major software upgrades will only be performed during the summer break.
Software Installation Requests
If your course requires specific software to be installed in a Shain Library computer lab, please submit an IT Service Ticket by the following deadlines:

Major software upgrades are performed during summer break only.
