A RESOURCE FOR STUDENTS AND FACULTY

Educational Technology Services (ETS) is a unit within the Jane Bancroft Cook Library that works collaboratively with faculty, other campus units and Information Technology. It is staffed by a coordinator along with an audio visual support specialist and student assistants. ETS plays a leading role in working with faculty and students in identifying, evaluating, selecting, and implementing learning technologies.

ETS is the foundational service within the Academic Resource Center (ARC), a state of the art facility that provides users with access to a variety of cutting-edge technologies in an innovative and flexible environment. The ARC provides an open use computer lab, language acquisition computer stations, digital media computer stations, collaboration spaces for faculty/students, printing and copying services, document/image scanners, video stations and study areas.
