Late Night @ D'Amour

As the end of the semester and exams approach, D'Amour Library, the Office of Information Technology and Public Safety are pleased to announce that a late-night computer/study area in D'Amour Library will be available again this semester. On a Sunday - Thursday basis beginning April 28 and ending May 9, the computer lab located on the ground level of D'Amour, G26, will be open between 1:00 AM and 7:45 AM for use by Western New England College students.

This computer lab seats 38 and offers the full Microsoft Office suite, Internet access, and black and white printing. The log-in requirements are the same for the computers in G26 as for the computers in D’Amour Library so all students should be sure that their username and password are working before using the lab.

The safety of students using this study space is of paramount concern to the College. Security cameras have been positioned to monitor both the computer lab and the entrance to the building. Public Safety officers will conduct hourly checks of the area through the night. Only registered students will have access to the building during the 1:00-7:45 AM period and access will be limited to the ground level. In order to use this room after D'Amour Library closes at 1:00 AM, you must have your ID. For this special time period only, all students will be granted access rights to the employee entrance located on the parking lot side of the building (south end). Each student will have to enter and exit through this door and a record will be kept of all IDs read. Please note that a campus telephone is located just outside the room so Public Safety can be called should any emergency arise during these extended hours.

We hope that you will make use of this space following the closing of D'Amour Library at 1:00 AM during the final two weeks of the semester. Remember that D'Amour Library will be closed and no library services will be available during these hours. However, all of D’Amour Library's electronic resources will be accessible via the Web.
