The library also teaches a one-credit course, Library Resources and Methods of Research, that introduces students to the organization, arrangement, and efficient use of library materials. Information resources that are necessary for educational endeavors but are not owned by the library may be obtained using the interlibrary loan service. Through the South Central Research Library Council and OCLC, the library has access to over 17,000 libraries in the United States and abroad. The writing center, located in 228 Roy H. Park Hall, serves all students who wish to become better writers. Assistance is also offered in improving reading comprehension and refining written English skills for international students.
Word processing is available to students and is taught by the writing faculty and in some courses.
Every school in the College offers courses that include computing. Students studying such diverse topics as music theory, cognition and information technology, finance, physical therapy, or writing will find opportunities to use computers for class. An extensive collection of programming languages, data analysis packages, and business programs supports the curriculum. The ACCS staff consists of a director and 16 full-time professional employees. Members of the staff provide free workshops and consulting services to Ithaca College students and faculty.
