Many other departments in the physical, social, and biological sciences and in engineering incorporate special instructions in the use of computers in their regular courses. Many individual departments and schools have their own computing facilities for research. In addition, numerous campus site licenses help make software available to graduate students as well as faculty and staff. The Edward G. Miner Library's Learning Center has both Macintosh and IBM-compatible microcomputers available for accessing Miner Network databases or for using application and instructional software. The Library's Education Services Department offers instruction on how to find and manage information.
Classes are a combination of lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on practices.
Please contact the library's reference desk at 275-2487 for more information.
