The 24-hour study area in Hale Library reopened Monday, Sept. 13, with a new look, lots of table space, Macs, wireless access, and printing capabilities. Information Technology Services has shifted computers, and six iMacs are now in that space. Laser printing is still available, and plans are to add more walk-up stations in the mix.
Einstein Brothers Bagels shop shares the updated space, and a grand opening is set for 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 15.
Double-sided printing (duplexing) is now the default in the K-State InfoCommons and university computing labs. During the 2006-2007 academic year, K-Staters printed more than 1.6 million pages (equivalent to 3,200 reams of paper) and since January of 2008 more than 830,000 pages have been printed in the university computing labs and InfoCommons. This change is one small step towards greater sustainability efforts on campus. Read about K-State’s sustainability efforts from http://sustainability.k-state.edu
