The W113 computer lab is now open from 5:30am to 12 midnight Sunday to Thursday and 5:30am to 4:30pm on Friday.

A black and white printer/copier/scanner has been installed and students wishing to print from it should install printer W113LEX. Instructions for installing the new printer are available from the LMC Library Information Desk and instructions for using the printer are located beside it.

EndNote Version X4 is now available! Upgrade to the latest version from the Library Homepage. No more disks. No more permission forms. Just a couple of clicks and you will have the latest version on your laptop. Your current records will still be there after the upgrade. Click the EndNote button on the Library Hompage and start now! Version X4 is compatible with Office 2010, but as it is still very recent there may still be problems with some of the functions. Double check your entries before submitting your assignment just to make sure everything is correct.
