More than 600 microcomputers (primarily IBM-compatible personal computers with some MACs) and some advanced workstations (IBM Intellistation workstations running Fedora Linux) are distributed across campus for convenient use by Lehigh students at some 23 computing sites. These sites provide access to numerous software programs for student use. The Information Commons area on the main floor of Fairchild-Martindale Library offers a large computing site with consultants scheduled to help users during many hours.
Wireless connectivity is available in the Fairchild and Linderman Libraries and in most other campus academic buildings. See the wireless web page at http://www.lehigh.edu/wireless for information on connectivity throughout the campus and instructions on necessary configurations for using secure wireless at Lehigh University. Wireless laptops can be borrowed at the Fairchild Library and Linderman Library circulation desks for short-term use.
Summer session students (who do not already have Lehigh computer accounts) may open a computer account. This will provide e-mail service, use of a campus “portal”, access to the library databases, and use of computing services on the Compute Server Cluster and the advanced workstations. Call LTS at 610-758-3830 for more information on opening accounts.
The new Digital Media Studio in the Mart Wing of Fairchild-Martindale Library offers a state-of-the-art multimedia computer classroom and many other facilities for student use. The Media Center, also in Fairchild-Martindale Library, offers audio, video, and electronic resources and the equipment and viewing spaces needed for their use. A limited supply of laptops for short-term rental by students, faculty or departments is housed there as well. Also available for classroom use are VCRs, portable computers, overhead and slide projectors. Basic production services for presentations are located at this site. The International Multimedia Resource Center (IMRC), located in Maginnes Hall offers access to international programs via satellite. This facility houses foreign language video and audio tapes, satellite downlinks and a collaborative multimedia computer lab including foreign language and instructional authoring software.
