UM-Flint ITS ~ 3174 WSW Student Computer Lab

Open Computer Lab
Library

ITS and the Thompson Library are pleased to announce the addition of 51 open computer stations in the Library. The Library Open Computing Lab originally opened in July 2003 with 24 computer stations. The seventy-five (75) workstations on all three floors offer a full set of ITS lab applications. Users may also access the Thompson Library’s homepage and its resources from these computers. Networked printing is located on each floor. These workstations help students make optimum use of both ITS software and library resources—including library staff.

The workstations, located in the center rows of carrels running north-south on each floor, offer considerable privacy, and should prove attractive places for students to work on term papers and other assignments requiring sustained concentration. UM-Flint faculty and staff may also use the workstations.

Hours of Operation
Please consult the Library's posted schedule of open hours.
