December 17th, the last day of the semester, will be the final day of operation for the 100-seat “Scholar’s Information Center” computer lab, which has been provided by University Computing Services for more than 14 years in Paley Library. This closure is part of the preparations being made by Computing Services in anticipation of the opening of the new TECH Center in January 2006. The space currently occupied by the computer lab will be returned to library use. As a first step, over 20 new library workstations will be installed, and laser printing will continue to be available. Additional plans are under development. Another 100-seat computer lab is located in Tuttleman Learning Center, adjacent to the library’s circulation/reserve area. Its 24/5 schedule of operation will change once the TECH Center is open in January.
