The Schaffer Library currently has 25 public access computers for the use of the Union College community and visitors to the library. These computers are equipped with Internet access, DVD/CD-ROM and floppy disk drives, 17" flat panel LCD displays, and are configured to print to the library's laser printer. The intention of these machines is that they be used primarily for academic research, searching the library catalog, WWW accessible databases, BlackBoard^TM courseware, and the WWW itself. Software viewers and utilities have been installed on each machine to support these activities.
In addition, there are two computers located on the first floor that have full word processing functionality.
