Computer lab too noisy? Want a little privacy?
We’ve recently added desktop computers to four of our individual study rooms. This is part of a trial program to evaluate demand for computer access in other parts of the library, so please let us know what you think.
The computers are in rooms 221, 222, 309, & 321. They have the same software that is available in the computer labs, will print to the second floor lab, and can be used by Adams State students, faculty, and staff.
