New Library Computers!

As part of the Library's ongoing efforts to improve our computer technology and support the curriculum, the Library has nearly completed two initiatives.

New computers were installed in the Women's Board Teaching Center on the third floor of Himmelfarb Library. The prior computers were redeployed else-where in the computer lab and first floor of the Himmelfarb Library, resulting in improvements to 42 computers available for public use.

In addition, the renovation of B103 (the Library's main teaching space) is nearly complete. Formerly a small ten-computer teaching room/conference room, the room has been expanded into an adjacent storage room, resulting in space for twenty-four computers, as well as a conf-erence area. This room will be jointly scheduled by Himmelfarb Library and the School of Public Health and Health Services (SPHHS) (beginning in spring 2004) for classes requiring computer use.

During the renovation, many SPHHS and library classes that would have taken place in B103 were moved to the Women's Board Teaching Center (WBTC). We recognize that the frequent closing of the WBTC was inconvenient for many of our patrons, and we appreciate your patience during the construction period. We look forward to moving these classes back to B103 in January.
