Computer Lab and Printing: The library's first-floor computer lab is relocating to the Setzer Student Center, rooms 271 and 273. These rooms will be equipped with computers, and students may check out laptops for use in the 2nd-floor seating area and will follow the same hours as the Setzer Student Center.
 
IT Help Desk: A temporary IT Help Desk has been created in Setzer Student Center, room 271 for the duration of the closure and will follow the same hours as the Setzer Student Center.
