Green Initiatives:

As part of Library Technology’s ongoing commitment to efficient use of technology resources, recycling, and power savings,  since January 2007, approximately 150 of the library’s computers have been configured to automatically shut-down for a minimum of 50-70 hours per week (with longer shut down times during winter breaks and intersession periods). Since 2007, an estimate of the power savings to the university:

Savings Per Month

588.2
$354.5

$24,106
 
(January 2007 - September 2012)

In addition, since late 2008 the library labs have been using 100% recycled paper.  CTS has extended the use of 100% recycled paper to library faculty and staff as well.

Desktop Security:

Security for the desktops in the open lab is implemented in layers, which provides a more comprehensive yet less intrusive control over the workstations and allows patrons to use the standard Windows interface. The security system is intended to protect the open lab PC’s and the network from innocent blunders and malicious experimentation.
