All computers support CD-R/RW’s, 3.5” floppies, and USB flash drives for backing up your files.

The library does not have discs for sale.

Please use the library's Listening Center for music and video.

IMPORTANT: Do not use lab computers for permanent file storage. The computers are networked, so files are public access and anyone in the lab can read or delete files. Files may also be periodically deleted by Information Technology staff.

Use the lab computers for temporary file storage when editing, printing or when you want to attach files to an email. Emailing files to yourself is the best thing to do when you don't have a disc or flash drive with you to save your work.
