Information
& Technology Services (I&TS) provides library and computing services
for the campus. Located in Mortvedt
Library, I&TS personnel are committed to making technology work for
everyone while striving to make research in both print and electronic
collections a rewarding experience.
More information regarding I&TS services is available on the PLU
website.
Computer
accounts
are essential for all PLU students. The
PLU ePass provides students with a PLU email account, an expanding set of
online student services, a rich collection of electronic research sources and
tools, and other services and resources for the exclusive use of the PLU
community. Students starting each fall
will receive mail early in the summer from the university with instructions on requesting the
ePass account online.
Anti-virus
software
is required on all student computers that connect to the PLU network. PLU provides this software free.
Visit our web page to get additional information and download the
program: http://www.plu.edu/antivirus.
Check
out books
and multimedia equipment and materials (e.g., videos, DVDs, digital cameras)
with your student ID card. This card
with the barcode on the back serves as your PLU library card.
General
access computers are located throughout campus.
The largest concentration is in Mortvedt Library, where the Haley Center
provides over 50 workstations for access to electronic information resources
and other research activities in an atmosphere that promotes individual and
group study, immediate access to reference and technology help, and the
relaxing ambiance of a nearby espresso kiosk.
Also in the library is the Language Resource Center for foreign language
learning.
Personalized
assistance
in computing and library services can be obtained in a variety of ways. These I&TS departments are good starting
points:
Residence
hall rooms
all have Ethernet network connections.
To connect to the network, students need an Ethernet card in addition to
ePass access and anti-virus software (above).
For information or assistance on setting up a computer for access to the
network (ResNet), students should visit the CATS homepage or contact the CATS
help desk. Ethernet cards for most
computers are available at the PLU bookstore.
Off-campus
students
need an Internet service provider in addition to the PLU
ePass. These services usually entail a monthly
charge. Additional information on
connecting to the PLU network from off campus can be found at www.plu.edu/~comptelc.
Wireless network zones are located throughout campus, including University Center, Mortvedt Library, Xavier Hall and Rieke Center. The Morken Center for Learning and Technology has both fixed and wireless network, a digital multimedia lab, an open lab for students, and department computing labs.
