What's New AY22-23
This page list news and updates including updates to service offerings, new equipment loan program equipment and policy updates, lab, software and printing updates, and campus-location updates.
Equipment Loan Program updates
Equipment Authorization process updated! Some equipment we offer has a hefty price tag if lost or damaged, or may have some more advanced features requiring training. In the past we would require clients to join a Sakai page to complete an online knowledge check/assessment. We have streamlined this process to complete a simple Microsoft Form submission online. Our video training resources still remain present on our pages. Visit the Equipment Authorizations page to learn more.

- Audio Recorders: Zoom H5 counts expanded

Digital and Multimedia Labs updates
Lab Workstation Updates
Microsoft Office Sign-In - In order to access and use Microsoft Office and other Microsoft applications, like Teams, sign in via SSO is required. Once signed into one product, you will be able to access all other products immediately without additional sign in for the duration of your login session.
IC Mac Refresh. Our Mac computers in the Information Commons have been refreshed with new Mac Mini models. While these machines utilize Lenovo monitors with built-in webcams, we have updated signage to help easily differentiate them when looking to use a Mac computer in these locations.
Water Tower Campus updates
WTC Production Studio launches Fall 2022! We have revamped our 6th floor offices to accommodate a new, smaller production studio for faculty requests. Visit our Media Production Studio pages to learn more.
Vocal Booth Walk-Ins Available! We've sunset our authorization requirements before use, and have enabled ease of walk-in use as well, though be aware that clients with reservations have priority. Learn more about our WTC Vocal Booth.
Service Location updates. Due to our new production studio, we have migrated our Equipment Loan cabinets and services into the CLC 608 Digital Media Lab. Our Print & Design advisors now staff the CLC 606 Suite Entrance in order to enable ease of poster pickup and assist with Lewis 6th Floor printing and workstation support as well.
WTC Alumni & Friends of the Library Workstations. Effective late November, Lewis Library has resumed offering workstation use for Alumni and Friends of the Library. There are 4 total workstations, 2 on CLC 6th floor and 2 on CLC 9th floor. This uses the same system as our Information Commons Alumni & Guest Workstations. Visit the Lewis Library circulation desk to create an account or reset your account password. Learn more about Alumni & Guest Machines.
