Class Use:
The primary function of the lab is to
serve as a facility where faculty in SBS departments may bring their classes for
computer related instruction. Instructors may also arrange for one of the ICL
Lab Assistants to conduct a session for their class in a computer-related topic
such as word processing, listserv, database, excel, using the web,
and/or web page development. The lab is also used for faculty and staff
workshops.
