Resources
Throughout the ITS Public Computer Labs, you'll find:
- four private group study rooms,
- more than 200 state-of-the-art Windows 7 PCs with DVD burners,
- 22 Macintosh iMacs,
- 22 Linux workstations,
- four state-of-the-art scanners, and
- photocopying and color printing equipment.
Free Printing
At the beginning of each semester, students are allocated free printouts managed by our OCS Printing System. The exact number of printouts is determined by collegiate status and/or number of credits taken. Students can access these printouts at the ITS Public Labs using their CUNYfirst EMPLID and PIN. This system applies to all Brooklyn College students — undergraduates and graduate students, BCA and Teaching Fellows. Students can replenish accounts that run low by using a convenient on-site cash machine, a credit card or Paypal online.
Adaptive Computing Area
The Adaptive Computing Area in the lab is designed specifically to accommodate the needs of students with disabilities and is better than ever. Situated in an easily accessible, private area of the lab, there are three PCs, each equipped with a 27" monitor and the newest adaptive programs, including Zoom Text (screen magnification program) and JAWS (voice output of typed material). The Adaptive Computing Area also contains a Kurzweil 1000/3000 (a machine that scans the contents of a page and formats it into voice output).
CIS Tutoring
The layout of the lab makes finding a tutor a breeze. It's just a matter of visiting the large, centrally located tutoring alcove to see who is available to help.
Sit Back and Relax
Come and enjoy our spacious lounges, furnished with tables and comfortable sofas. They're the perfect place to read, study, surf the Web on a laptop, or just kick back and relax. There is a waiting area with bistro-style tables and plenty of bench space — a great place to have lunch, take a break, or chat with friends. You may also reserve one of our four brand-new group meeting rooms. Each is network equipped with whiteboard and conference-style seating.
