Classroom Media Resources

Six classrooms are equipped with multimedia capabilities. All these classrooms have multimedia projectors mounted on the ceiling, and they are connected to VCRs, computers, and auxiliary equipment. External equipment such as laptops, digital cameras, video cameras, and other devices can be connected to the podium for multimedia presentations. These podium computers are also connected to the network and the Internet.

Panel discussions are often held, and rooms 129 and 130 may be combined to accommodate several presenters. Up to six microphones can be used by the panel, and wireless microphones can be used by the students to ask questions. An 84-inch pull-down screen is used for viewing.

Distance Learning Resources

Two of the six multimedia classrooms as well as the moot courtroom and Chancellor’s conference room are equipped for distance learning. Lawyers, judges, and other experts can teach students through these facilities without the expenses of travel and accommodation. Also, the Career Placement Department can use this facility for interviews between students and prospective employers.

Up to three remote connections can be viewed at a time on the retractable screen. Remote connection is accomplished either through IP or ISDN. The session can also be taped using a VCR.

Network Connections

  • Access the Internet

Ethernet connections are available in the library area. To use the Law Center’s network connections, you must have a working 10/100 Ethernet card and a Cat 5 Ethernet cable.

Pay To Print

The student computer labs have a total of four laser printers for use with the computers in the lab. Each law student will receive a specified number of free pages per academic year, and any printing over the specified number will be at a cost to the student of $0.03 per page.

We make every effort to keep the printers in good working order. However, you may receive pages that are of poor quality due to low toner or other printer malfunction. You can have these pages credited back to your account by showing the poor quality pages to the lab attendant.

It is your responsibility to log on and off the computer you are using each time you use the lab. If you forget to log out and another student prints using your account, you are responsible for those pages. If you think another student knows your user ID and password, please contact the ITSS Help Desk or change your password.

Think carefully before printing. You will be charged for all print jobs. Consider the following tips:

ü    Use the print-preview feature before printing.
ü    Proofread and spell check before printing.
ü    If you need to reprint a document, print only those pages that have        changed, instead of the entire document.
ü
    If your print job does not print immediately, do not send it to the printer        again without checking the print monitor because it may still be in the print        queue.
ü    
Remember to log out before you leave the lab. Otherwise, the next user        will be able to print using your account.
