Students connect their computers to the campus network and the Internet at speeds hundreds of times faster than through dial-up. ResNet enables Austin College students to collaborate and access an expanding universe of academic and informational resources directly from their residence hall rooms or Bryan Apartments. If students have a laptop computer they can also connect their computers to the network at public ports located throughout the campus. Any Austin College student living in a campus residence hall or Bryan Apartments can have in-room access to ResNet services.
Students living off campus have access to the public computing labs.
You can access campus resources, electronic mail, the Internet, the World Wide Web, and a rapidly expanding number of resources in the US and the world. Campus resources include the web access to the library catalog, Britannica Online, a variety of subscription databases which index scholarly journals, syllabi, class assignments and lecture notes on-line, and instructional applications. There are public computer labs staffed by trained students at several locations on campus. Also, each Residence Hall has one public computer cluster. If you want access from your own room, you do need a computer.
