The Media Services Center assists departments and faculty in integrating media within their instructional programs. It is responsible for purchasing, storing, and circulating non-print materials including films and video recordings. Other services include providing the equipment for using the non-print materials, preview rooms, maintaining an electronic television classroom, and the satellite downlink. It also produces such instructional aids as charts, graphs, photographic slides, mounted and laminated materials, overhead visuals, and computerized visuals. The Instructional Support Center provides individual and group assistance to students through a microcomputer laboratory.
Academic assistance is available through a system of peer tutoring for some basic studies classes.
The division of Learning Technologies provides support for research and instructional computing for students and faculty by managing the University's internet connection and mainframe and workstation services and facilities. It operates computing laboratories open to all students in the Instructional Support Center, the College of Business, Goddard Hall, and McKenny Union. The Center for Instructional Computing, also housed in the Library, is a computing development center for use by faculty. A new 226,000 square foot library building is currently being planned. The building will provide more than 2,000 spaces for users as well as more than 500 public microcomputers for access to all types of information.
