If any one knows of any other place(s) close to Walter to make this type of exchange, please add to the comment section. Thanks!

I just had a patron wondering if there was anywhere in Walter Library that IT students could print for free...I knew there weren't any locations on the second floor, so I directed student down to the big lab on floor one.

He returned to say that he was able to print for free in the portion of that lab that is reserved for IT students.

Talking with the circulation staff member I was told another patron had recently come up asking the same question. I figured that since I didn't know, others might not as well.

Just FYI.

Here is a link the Walter SMART Learning Commons website. It includes the hours it is currently being staffed (it will be open the same hours as the library):

This link has also been added it to the left hand navigational links on Sciweb.

I just got the full scoop on the 24hr study space availability from Amy Lewis, and I'm relaying it in case questions come up at the desk.

--Patrons will not be able to access the stacks or receive any type of circulation assistance after 12mid. Circulation Services will resume again the following morning at 8:00 AM.

--There will be a security monitor posted at the 2nd Floor Circulation Desk monitoring the gates.

--The Basement entrance/exit will be closed.
