To help enhance student learning and research, the Commons provides state of the art technology and resources.<\/p>\n<p>The newly expanded and renovated Commons features brightly-painted walls, upholstered booths, comfortable arm chairs and sofas interspersed among almost 200 computer workstations. Here students can checkout a laptop, snuggle into an easy chair, and access the internet or a remote printer over our wireless network. They can create a video or practice a multimedia presentation in our Practice Presentation Room, be tutored in statistics or writing skills, or have their personal computers scanned for viruses and spyware.<\/p>\n<p>On a busy day, the Commons hosts as many as 2000 visitors. Most services are available 24 hours a day, five days a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrate the newly-renovated Commons, a collaboration of the University Libraries and the Office of Information Technology (OIT).
